Project Description
The proposed investment involves IFC's subscription to two bonds issued by QNB Finansbank (βQNBFβ or the βBankβ): a green bond of up to $100 million and a blue bond of up to $25 million. IFC will invest up to $50 million in the green bond and will be the sole investor in the blue bond for $25 million. QNB-F will use the bond proceeds to extend financing to eligible SMEs and select corporate and commercial borrowers for their climate financing needs. IFC will serve as an anchor investor for the green bond issuance, having structured the offering and assisted the Bank in identifying eligible green assets.
