About This Table
- This table includes projects signed and processed during FY07. All amounts are given in U.S. dollars, regardless of the currency of the transaction.
- For the purposes of the table, "IFC Loan" includes loan-type quasi-equity investments; "IFC Equity" includes equity-type quasi-equity investments.
- Under the Global Trade Finance Program, IFC provides guarantee coverage of bank risk in emerging markets, where confirming banks need risk mitigation to support their export clients because of limited capacity for country and bank exposure.
- Structured finance mobilization is a feature of selected guarantee, loan, and equity transactions, but it is not included in the total committed for these projects. The mobilization number covers the full amount at the project commitment date.
- Projects marked with an asterisk (*) have been committed and/or have the option to disburse in a non–U.S. dollar currency.
Environmental and Social Categories
Projects are assigned a category of A, B, or C, in descending order of environmental and social sensitivity, or FI, in the case of financial institutions that on-lend to clients who may present environmental and social concerns.
- Category A: Projects expected to have significant adverse social and/or environmental impacts that are diverse, irreversible, or unprecedented.
- Category B: Projects expected to have limited adverse social and/or environmental impacts that can be readily addressed through mitigation measures.
- Category C: Projects expected to have minimal or no adverse impacts, including certain financial intermediary projects.
- Category FI: Investments in financial intermediaries that themselves have no adverse social and/or environmental impacts but may finance subprojects with potential impacts.
