Description
Equity investment in a USD 80m fund promoting financial inclusion in Africa through hybrid capital investments in financial institutions in Africa.
Objectifs
The project has the ultimate objective to promote financial inclusion in Africa, thus supporting employment and the economic development of micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs). The fund will provide a range of hybrid capital instruments (i.e. subordinated debt, holding company loans, additional Tier 1 capital, etc.) to inclusive financial institutions comprising Monetary Financial Institutions (MFIs), banks, leasing companies, housing finance institutions etc. Such investments will provide essential capital to financial intermediaries that were affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and have a crucial role in the economic development of the continent. Hybrid capital products are rarely available in the target market but have high crowding-in potential as they allow the investees to attract additional senior debt and leverage the financing to reach more clients. The fund will promote high standards of service delivery and require the investees to adhere to best practice in terms of client protection principles and social responsibility.
