Alto Maipo Project The Project under consideration is the construction and operation of the 531 MW Alto Maipo hydropower plants, with a total estimated cost of approximately US$1.9 billion and an estimated output in excess of 2,100 GWh per year.  The Project consists of two separate high-head, run-of-river hydropower facilities located about 50 km southeast of Santiago, the load center of Chiles power grid.  Construction of the Project will take place over an approximately five-year period and will require the excavation of about 67 km of tunnels; approximately 90% of total Project civil works are expected to be underground.  The Project will have a relatively short 17 km transmission line of to connect it with existing electricity transmission infrastructure, and will not require the construction of dams or reservoirs, or the resettlement of population. The IFC investment will: (i) assist Chile in the enhancement of its energy security in the most efficient manner by supporting large-scale run-of-the-river hydropower projects, decreasing system costs by providing alternatives to thermal generation (particularly diesel); (ii) enable the implementation of large-scale zero-emission technology power generation sources, decreasing overall emissions of CO2 and GHG; (iii) increase the direct IFC developmental impact of prior smaller projects in the small hydro and wind sector in Chile, which focused mostly on providing demonstration effects, with a critical mobilization role for a larger project; and (iv) provide support to hydropower projects located close to the load center of the country, in a climate of increased environmental opposition to other projects in the Patagonia region which require extremely long and invasive power transmission lines.
Duoc Project Fundacion Duoc (Duoc) is a higher education institution in Chile providing technical degrees and vocational training to a student body of approximately 40,000.  Duoc sees a strong need to expand the financing options it offers to students, especially to those from lower income brackets who are not eligible for government sponsored programs.  IFC has been in discussions with Duoc and a Chilean bank (or the Bank), to jointly develop a new student loan program for Duoc (the Facility).  Under the new program, loans would be made by the Bank to qualified Duoc students.  The Bank would then administer and collect the loans in cooperation with Duoc.  Duoc would provide a first loss reserve (First loss) for such a program in order to:  -  reduce the risk of loss to the Bank and IFC, and  - help lower the interest rate being charged to its students.  IFC would share the remaining risk of the Facility with the Bank. This project is expected to increase access to higher education, especially among students from lower- and middle-income households. Unlike the profile of students in higher education generally, 60% of which come from families in the two highest income quintiles, 64% of Duocs students come from families classified as middle- and lower-income.  The return to receiving higher education in Chile is high, including for those trained in vocational schools and technical centers, yet the World Bank has found that the relative cost of higher education in Chile is among the highest in the world.  Only about 20% of the population can afford to pay for higher education without outside financing.  Further, existing sources of financing through government and bank programs are mostly unavailable to the lower segment of middle income families, which the proposed Facility is meant to serve.   In addition to increasing access to higher education, the proposed facility will introduce to the financial markets in Chile an affordable student loan scheme that will demonstrate the creditworthiness of lower- and middle-income students graduating with technical and vocational degrees.
Sociedad  Inversora Forestal S.A The project involves launching an 8-year, $34 million forestry fund (the Lignum Forestry Fund or the Fund) that will acquire approximately 20,000 hectares of standing radiata pine trees and will plant up to 30,000 hectares of radiata pine and eucalyptus globulus under long-term land-use right agreements with small and medium landowners and farmers mainly in regions VII and VIII of Chile.  The Fund will also subsequently introduce a forestry-backed securitized instrument to the Chilean capital markets supported by the net proceeds of the harvest and commercialization of such forestry assets under long-term administrative and off-take agreements with two of Chiles leading forestry companies. 

The Funds activities will follow the project design of SIF Sociedad Inversora Forestal S.A., a wholly owned subsidiary of Fundación Chile that sold a long term bond backed by forest assets in November 2002.  The Fund will pay an annual fee for the land use rights to plant eroded lands and will also share a portion of the net margin of the harvest proceeds with these participating landowners.   The owners of standing forests will receive a negotiated price for the land use rights that terminate after the final harvest of the standing forests.

The two major forestry companies in Chile, Forestal Celco S.A. and Forestal Mininco S.A. (the Forestry Companies), will administer the Funds forestry assets and acquire the harvested logs under long term administration and off-take contracts. 

The Fund will be created as a Chilean public fund, will be registered in the Santiagos Stock Exchange in Chile and will be regulated by the Chilean Fund Regulator (Superintendencia de Valores y Seguros or SVS).
Duoc Growth Fundacion Duoc (DuocUC) is a leading higher education institution in Chile providing technical degrees and professional degrees to a student body of over 50,000.  The University operates in 12 campuses and provides more than 80 different degrees, including 50 technical degrees and 30 professional degrees.  DuocUC is looking to continue expanding its size and offerings through organic growth.  The first stage of the project involves the construction of a university campus in Santiago (the Maipu Campus), with covered space of 10,000 square meters and capacity of 4,000 students.  Further stages of the project involve similar capacity expansion projects to facilitate organic growth which are to be identified at a later stage. The Project will:    - Contribute to equality of opportunity and social mobility by expanding the availability of higher education to lower-income segments, which is crucial in Chile;  - Contribute to increase higher education coverage in one of the most densely populated areas of the Metropolitan Region, which is composed mostly of mid and mid-to-low income inhabitants and does not have sufficient higher education offerings;
Agrisouth (Chile) Summary Of Project Information (SPI)       Project Name    Chile-Agrisouth            Region    Latin America        Sector       Project No004930   Projected Board DateApril 3, 1997   Company NameAgrisouth (Chile) S.A.   Technical Partner and/or Major Shareholders    	Agrisouth (Chile) is wholly owned by Mahammed Abdallah Sharbatly Corporation (MASC), a Saudi Arabian fruit trader.  MASC is a leading fruit trader (importer and wholesaler) in Saudi Arabia with a market share of more than 40%.    Project Cost Including proposed IFC investment    	Project Cost: US$ 56 million, including working capital and interest expenses during construction.  Proposed IFC investment: an A loan of US$ 10 million; B laon of US$ 5 million for the account of participating banks.    Location of project and Description of site    	The Project is located in agricultural land in the Province of Linares, approximately 300 km south of Santiago.  The plantations are located near the towns of Colbun and Yierbas Buenas, while packing and storage facilities will be located 25 km from the plantations, near the town of San Javier.      Description of Company and Purpose of Project    	As part of its vertical integration strategy to reduce intermediary costs and secure good quality fruit, MASC began acquiring land in Chile in 1991 to develop the Project.  The orchards will mainly produce red apples to be exported to Saudi Arabia, where the Sponsor is the market leader.  Red apples are the preferred variety in the Middle Eastern market.  The Project is located in a region whose climate is ideal for growing well-colored red apples, which command a significant market premium.  At completion, the Project will ensure permanent employment for 450 workers, plus additional seasonal employment during harvesting, packing and shipping for 2,000 workers, of which 400 will be employed for approximately seven months per year.  This employment creation will take place in Chiles VII Region, where poverty has been estimated to affect 50% of the rural population.  The Project will introduce new agricultural techniques such as high density planting and tree growth management, so needed currently by the Chilean fruit sector to maintain its cost competitiveness.    Environmental Category and Issues    	This is an environmental review category B project.  Environmental, health and safety issues include land use, air emissions, liquid effluent treatment and discharge, solid waste disposal, use of refrigerants, pesticide handling and application, fire prevention, and general employee health and safety.  Environmental reports submitted by the Company indicate that the project will meet World Bank guidelines.    The  is  from the Public Information Center.

BICE Housing The proposed investment consists of a senior unsecured A Loan to Banco BICE (Banco BICE or the Bank), for up to US$200 million, to support the growth of the Banks mortgage portfolio in Chile, with a focus on mortgage loans for women. IFC anticipates that the project will help narrow the housing finance gap in Chile by improving access to housing loans and mortgages, with a special focus on housing loans for women. For the past five years, BICE has been constantly expanding its housing portfolio, which reached about US$2.0 billion as of December 2023. Women were present in 52% of the Banks mortgage loans, as either the borrower only (21%) or as a co-borrower together with a man (31%). This is better than the system average, in which only 41% of the systems mortgage loans were destined to women. The Project will allow the Bank to further improve this trend, and strengthen financial inclusion for women in Chile.
