Description
Establishment of a loan guarantee facility of up to EUR 20 million for the purpose of facilitating CDB’s private sector lending operations in sectors eligible under the Cotonou Agreement.
Objectives
A cross cutting objective of CDB is to develop the private sector with a view to improving the long term productive capacity of the Caribbean. The proposed loan guarantee facility under which the EIB would provide partial guarantees for specific loan operations priced in line with the credit risk policy for the Investment Facility, would be used by CDB to create more headroom for taking on private sector risks, and thus increase its role as financier in this sector.
