Puertas Finas de Madera Montealban, S.A. de C.V. With the objective of increasing the company''s production capacity and further improving its efficiency, the project comprises:   (i) increasing the production capacity at the company''s existing door plants;   (ii) constructing a new plant in Guerrero for plywood and veneer production;   (iii) constructing a new facility in the State of Mexico for the productions of wooden reels and truck platforms, etc;   (v) opening 4 new retail stores in various cities;   (vi) upgrading the environmental aspects of the company''s production facilities; and    (vii) restructuring bridge loans incurred for the project.     Development Impacts    The proposed project is expected to bring about the following development impacts: (i) The company''s production facilities would serve as important direct employment pools, economic stimulators, and promoters of sustainable forestry operations in various parts of Mexico, particularly in the states of Oaxaca and Guerrero - the second and third poorest states of the country; (ii) With its long-term supplier relationships with numerous communities in Oaxaca and Guerrero, the company will continue helping the communities'' development by: (a) constructing and maintaining the roads leading into the forests; (b) providing technical assistance on various aspects of forestry operations; (c) providing the communities with a legally constituted enterprise which buys their products at market prices; and (d) providing a stable source of timber demand, which translates into a stable source of income for the communities;  (iii) The project will enable the company to increase its exports, and substitute imported raw materials with in-house manufactured goods, thereby reducing its production costs and increasing its international competitiveness; and (iv) the project will indirectly positively impact the communities as, at IFC''s request, the company will formalize a corporate policy that seeks to assist communities in reaching Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certification and attain better forest management practices.     IFC Roles    IFC can play a significant role in this project: (i) IFC''s investment will provide the necessary long-term financing for a medium-sized Mexican company.  Even though the credit rating of Mexico has been upgraded, long-term financing is still very limited to the top-tier companies and is practically unavailable for middle market companies and small and medium enterprises (SMEs).  IFC''s investment in the project would provide the company with the lacking long-term financing to meet its expansion plans and asset/liability matching requirements; (ii) IFC can help the company in its process of obtaining the FSC certification, with which Puertas Finas will be able to gain access to the European market and continue supplying to the US and Canada; and (iii) IFC''s involvement will result in substantial improvements to the health and safety conditions at the company''s plants by subjecting the Puerta Finas to the World Bank Group social and environmental guidelines.

CI Crediclub IFC proposes an equity co-investment in Crediclub S.A. de C.V. The co-investment will be made through an Ontario-based Limited Partnership alongside L Catterton Latin America Fund III L.P.  Crediclub is a fast-growing microfinance institution (MFI) focused on lending to the lower income segment in Mexico, with an innovative and digital deposit funding structure that represents a unique business model compared to its more traditional peers. Project-level outcome is: increased access to finance for micro enterprises, and especially women micro entrepreneurs in Mexico, where the access to finance remains low despite the significant role played by MSMEs in the economy. The main market-creation outcomes is: financial inclusiveness.
FHIPO Loan II The proposed project consists of a credit facility through a financing structure with Fideicomiso Hipotecario (Fideicomiso Irrevocable F/2061 FHipo; BMV Ticker: FHIPO) (FHipo or the Company). With this financing, FHipo will continue with its ordinary course of business which may include but is not limited to the co-participation and co-origination of mortgage loans with several originators in Mexico, allowing them to expand the number of mortgages granted and thus benefiting a greater number of Mexican families. IFC's support will enable FHipo to expand the scale of its investments, by increasing the amount of residential mortgage portfolios acquired by them. This in turn is expected to have the following impacts: i) Residential mortgages originators will be benefited by obtaining access to liquidity and funding diversification to increase their operations, and, consequently, increasing the number of families being able to get mortgage financing; ii) investors will benefit since the project will contribute to a wider availability of impact investment opportunities in the capital markets and iii) enhancing Fintech mortgage market in Mexico through FHipo's partnership with Smart Lending. The project will also have stakeholder impact as it will i) increase access to housing finance for formal sector workers that are currently un(der)served by commercial lenders; and (ii) complement the public sector's effort in addressing the severe shortage of affordable housing. Additionally, environmental impact is also expected, as the Project will contribute to reducing 1,300 tons of CO2 emissions per year by funding mortgages with energy savings potential.
Banco del Bajio The proposed project consists of an equity investment and a standby line of credit to Banco del Bajio, S.A. (Bajio or the Bank), with the objective of supporting the expansion and consolidation of the Banks operations in Mexico.  Banco del Bajio is a regional bank with significant presence in the northern, western and central regions of Mexico.  The Bank is one of the most dynamic niche financial institutions and the 8th largest bank in Mexico in terms of assets; it focuses on three principal business lines: SMEs, agribusiness, and commercial banking. In recent years, the bank has diversified into high growth segments like mortgages and consumer loans.  Leon-based Bajio is majority owned by Mexican investors with Spanish bank Banco Sabadell holding a 20% stake in the company.  Since 1994, when the Bank initiated its operations, the network has grown significantly.  As of December 31, 2005 total assets amounted to $3.69 billion, up from $463 million in 1994.  Bajio currently employs close to 1,242 people in Mexico, compared with 25 in 1994, and the network is rapidly growing: Bajio ended December 2005 with 88 branches and plans to open more than 20 branches a year over the next decade in central and northwestern Mexico.
Proteak Exp IFC is providing a loan to Proteak Uno S.A.B. de C.V. (Proteak), a forestry company in Mexico.   The investment proceeds will be used for Proteaks investment program which consists of expanding its eucalyptus planted area, the replanting of existing plantations, working capital financing and debt refinancing. The Project will support the development of Mexico''s forestry supply chain addressing the country''s deficit in wood fiber in a cost effective manner.   By supplying domestic eucalyptus to a MDF plant that will substitute imports, the Project will reduce carbon emissions and costs associated with transport of wood from abroad and provide much needed rural development in Mexico.   The Project will support the expansion of certified forests, helping with the reforestation of degraded areas and contributing to reduction of carbon emissions through carbon sequestration.
Perote II Project FV MEXSOLAR XI, S.A.P.I. DE C.V. (the Company) is developing a 118.9MWp/100MWac greenfield solar photovoltaic (PV) plant in the Municipality of Perote, State of Veracruz, eastern Mexico (Perote II or the Project). The Company proposes to design, build and operate this solar PV plant and onsite substation for interconnection to the national electrical grid on an area of approximately 310 hectares of sparsely populated seasonal farmland. Total project cost is estimated to be US$98 million. IFC is considering providing a senior loan of up to US$10 million from its own account and up to US$15 million acting in its capacity as implementing entity for the Managed Co-Lending Portfolio Program, while up to US$25 million would be provided by a third party through a parallel loan. 1. Increasing clean energy production. The Project will contribute an additional 100MWac toward Mexico's stated target of 35% clean energy generation by 2024.

2. Diversifying the energy matrix. The Project will help Mexico unlock its resource rich solar power generation potential, which was less than 1% of the energy mix in the country (2017 statistics) and increase its resilience to shocks by diversifying generation sources.

3. Reduction of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions. The project will allow for a reduction of approximately 126,926 tons.

4. Demonstration Effect. By serving as a benchmark for the financing of hybrid structures with significant exposure to both Qualified Suppliers (those that provide energy and ancillary services to users whose consumption surpasses 1 MW) and to the wholesale market, the proposed investment is opening the way for the creation of a new market that was enabled by the recent energy sector reforms.

5. Job creation and income enhancement in the local community: members of the community reported that the income derived from leasing the lands to the Project will be significantly higher than what could be obtained from agricultural production and that it will help them raise their living standards. In addition, the project is expected to generate over 600 jobs during the construction stage at the site.
MOUNTAIN NAZCA CROSS BORDER FUND IV, LP The proposed investment is an equity investment of up to $15M in Mountain Nazca Fund II, (Fund II), an Ontario-domiciled VC fund focused on investing in early-stage technology companies in Spanish Latin America (LAC), predominantly Mexico. 1.	Increased access to early and expansion stage equity for technology companies in Mexico. Access to VC in Mexico remains low compared to the size of its economy. Within this context, Mountain Nazca will provide access to capital across an investee's lifecycle through its fund.
2.	Increased competitiveness of Mexico's VC market. Mexico's VC ecosystem remains under-developed and the success of the Fund will prove the viability of this sector and help catalyze new local FMs.
3.	Increased competitiveness of key markets through the support of market-disrupting digital business models: VC funds such as Mountain Nazca invest in companies that often introduce a disruptive digital business model in a market. These innovative businesses can put pressure on incumbents to compete on prices and service quality. They can also strengthen supply chains by reducing the role of brokers and intermediaries, which improves price transparency and efficiency.
Konfio B Project table, .k-table{ border-collapse:collapse; width:100%; table-layout:fixed; margin-bottom: 15px;} .k-table, .k-table td, table, table td {outline: 0;border: 1px solid #000; } .k-table td, table td { padding: 5px; }       Konfio (the Company) is an online lending platform for Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Mexico founded in 2013 to address the lack of credit for the vast creditworthy but underserved entrepreneurial segment in Mexico. Konfio has developed an algorithm to underwrite unsecured working capital loans in a fraction of the time and cost of traditional lenders, at competitive rates but with greater convenience for the customer. IFC is considering a debt and equity investment in Konfio (the Project), which will be used to finance the Companys continued expansion. The Project aligns with IFCs contribution to the WBG goals by addressing gaps to financial services through the use of financial technology (FinTech). Access to finance for MSMEs in Mexico: Konfio contributes to financial inclusion and economic development in Mexico by empowering MSMEs with better access to working capital. Konfio's target clients seek credit online because they cannot afford to take time off from their business to go to the bank for a loan. With its proprietary credit assessment methodology, Konfio can make financing faster, more affordable and convenient for MSMEs who remain vastly underserved by the formal bank credit market which has very restrictive lending policies for this sector.
