| Anticipated development impact of the project |
An IFC investment in The Fund is expected to deliver the following development impacts:
- Stimulate private sector growth – The Fund is expected to provide risk financing to fast-growing private companies across a wide variety of sectors, and help them improve competitiveness and sustainability.
- Promote the development of non-bank financial institutions – The potential success of The Fund will provide a commercial proof that private equity is viable in Indonesia, and will promote further growth of this nascent industry in the country.
- Enhance standards of corporate governance, environmental and social practices – The Fund as well as its investee companies are expected to adopt higher standards in corporate governance, environmental and social practices. |
| IFC's expected development contribution |
IFC is expected to make the following unique development contributions:
- Help Quvat Management build a more stable and diverse investor base in Indonesia which attracts relatively little private equity.
- Share global experience and independent deal judgment in certain sectors, as well as fund management expertise with the investment manager.
- Assist Quvat Management in establishing and maintaining a Social and Environmental Management System (SEMS), and in practicing sustainable investing. |
