We have significant expertise in project finance, having financed many landmark energy projects in developing countries, and also support our clients through corporate finance facilities. IFC can provide green and sustainability-linked financing and implementation support.
IFC can also provide up to 20 percent of the equity invested in a project or company, and on a selective basis, start-up equity, collaboration, and co-development assistance for early-stage project development.
Drawing from in-house technical expertise, we provide advice on engineering, environmental standards, public-private partnerships (PPPs), risk management, and more.
