Financial Inclusion Social Bond

in implementation

The transaction consists of IDB Invest underwriting two bond issues by a Peruvian financial company for up to US$20 million: (i) a subordinated social bond aimed at equal opportunities for women-led micro and small enterprises denominated in Peruvian Soles (“PEN”) for up to the equivalent of US$10 million, with an eight-year term and bullet payment; and (ii) a senior social bond aimed at equal opportunities for women-led micro and small enterprises denominated in PEN for up to the equivalent to US$10 million, with a four-year term and bullet payment. The bond issues are intended to increase the Issuer's accountable capital and support its portfolio growth strategy, which targets women-led micro and small enterprises in Peru. The creation of a fund usage framework in line with the principles and guidelines for social impact bonds is underway. IDB Invest will provide advisory services to obtain a second party opinion (“SPO”) to validate and confirm the appropriateness of the methodological framework used.
