Summary sheet
Credit line to Banque de Polynésie S.A. (BDP) for the purpose of financing projects with demonstrable environmental benefits, e.g. renewable energy, energy efficiency, pollution abatement technology, and environmental municipal services. EIB finance will be limited to 50% of the cumulative underlying investment costs of the sub-projects financed.
The transaction will enhance availability of credit to sponsors of investments in the environment sector, reduce economically inefficient use of resources at a country level, support SMEs in pursuing environmentally sustainable business practices, and improve access to environmental services among consumers. The transaction has the potential to demonstrate the commercial viability of small to medium sized environment projects in the Pacific and the regulatory frameworks’ conduciveness to investments in sustainable development.
Bearing in mind that this transaction aims to support environmental projects, legal documentation will stipulate the obligation for financial intermediaries to ensure that projects financed under this loan are in line with relevant national and/or EU environmental legislation. A significant part of the Facility will be dedicated to projects with a principle aim to mitigate GHG emissions and thus address climate change.
Procedures employed for award of all contracts to be financed by the Bank will be reviewed to ensure that they comply with the Bank’s guidelines.
