Project scope and objective
The IIC seeks to work with Banco Sofisa S.A. in helping small and medium-sized companies secure financing by guaranteeing up to 50% of loans booked by Sofisa, a local bank that is almost exclusively focused on SMEs in Brazil. By providing these partial loan guarantees, the IIC will allow Sofisa to extend a greater amount of financing to eligible companies than would normally be the case, due to the bank’s conservative exposure limitations. For the IIC, this program will allow it to extend lending to SMEs in local currency, thereby helping eligible companies that are not exporters and thus require local currency, rather than U.S. dollar, funding.

Environmental and social review
IDB Invest conducts an environmental and social due diligence (ESDD) commensurate with the nature, scale, and stage of the project, and with its level of environmental and social risks and impacts. The ESDD will confirm the project E&S categorization and assess the project with respect to the client requirements in IDB Invest Environmental and Social Sustainability Policy. The results of the ESDD, including any identified gaps are described in the Environmental and Social Review Summary (ESRS) provided below. For projects approved as of 2016, any gaps with respect to IDB Invest's Environmental and Social Sustainability Policy at the time of the ESDD are addressed in the Environmental and Social Action Plan (ESAP) presented below, to comply with the date mentioned above.
