Project scope and objective
The operation consists of a senior loan of up to US$10 million to be financed by IDB Invest (the "IDB Invest Loan") and a parallel loan of up to US$10 million to be financed by co-lenders (the "Parallel Loan" and together with the IDB Invest Loan, the "Loan"). The Loan is expected to have a term of up to four years, with semiannual principal and interest amortization payments. The Loan proceeds will be used to promote the growth of Banco Solidario's portfolio of microenterprises owned and/or led by women in Ecuador.
The Project team will support Banco Solidario through technical advisory services to strengthen the Bank's inclusion strategy by enhancing the measurement of the impact generated in Banco Solidario's portfolio. This will be done through the improvement of data collection and monitoring.
