Project scope and objective

The proposed project includes a financing mechanism for up to US$50 million (“Sustainable Financing Mechanism”) for Banco de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires (“Banco Ciudad”) that will allow that institution to finance subprojects with important environmental benefits in Argentina, primarily targeting the renewable energy and energy efficiency sectors, although it will also seek to support other investments intended to mitigate the effects of climate change (“Sustainable Projects”). The Sustainable Financing Mechanism will provide Ciudad with an unsecured senior loan consisting of: (i) Tranche I for up to US$25 million with a term of up to seven years; and (ii) Tranche II for up to US$25 million with a term of up to five years. Both Tranches will be directed to financing other sustainable projects that require longer amortization terms.
