NDB Agri Loan 0  0  0  0  0  0  0  0  0.0000          The proposed project is a 5-year, local currency, senior loan of up to US$  5  0     m  illio  n equivalent, to   National Development Bank   PLC (    NDB    ), a mid-sized licensed   commercial bank   (    LC  B    ) in Sri Lanka (    the     Project    ).   As at December 31, 2017, SME and Retail segments accounted for 40% of the Banks portfolio, followed by Corporates (33%) and Project Finance (22%).   T  he   Project   will support the expansion of   NDB  s MSME portfolio related to the agriculture sector, with an emphasis on financing climate-smart agriculture solutions and women-owned enterprises  . The Banks current exposure to agriculture represents 10% of its portfolio  .     The Project will be supported by the IFC-Canada Climate Blended Finance Program and the WEOF facilities, with a focus on promoting respectively Climate Smart Agri (    CSA    ) practices and Women owned SME financing in   the   agribusiness space. Out of the up to US$     50     mi  l  lion financing for this project, up to US$10     million will be carve  d   out for CSA and funded by the IFC-Canada Climate Blended Finance Program. The WEOF will provide pricing incentives based on   targets re  ached by the project.    The agriculture sector employs 26% of Sri Lankas work force, represents 24% of exports and accounted for a third of poverty reduction over the past 15 years. However, its contribution to GDP fell from 20.5% to 6.9% in the same period. Further, inclement weather conditions have led to a 1% reduction in GDP growth in recent years. Moreover, lack of investments in technology, value additions, efficient and climate smart practices are obstacles in realising its true potential. This has made the sector less competitive in the global market, severing it from global agri-value chains.     The proposed project is part of IFCs Sri Lanka Agriculture Finance Program, which aims to provide a holistic solution to bridge an estimated agriculture financing gap of US$ 2     b  illio  n. The Program would consist of the following components:    1. Capacity development of Participating Financial Institutions (PFIs): on agri value chain financing and development of related products    2. Awareness creation: modern, efficient practices to enhance quality and productivity among agri-value chain players    3. Risk mitigation: introduction of agri insurance products and climate smart agricultural practices    4. Improve enabling environment: working on policy measures to improve the enabling environment in line with Governments Vision 2025    5. Funding: provide funding to chosen PFIs to lend to agri value chain players    To achieve this IFC will work closely with the World Bank, government stake holders and private sector partners. 1. Through the proposed project, NDB expects to provide access to finance to agriculture related MSMEs in Sri Lanka over the next 5 years.

2. The Project will also contribute towards climate resilience via climate smart agriculture.

3. Sustainable agri-finance will help address food security, job creation, and overall economic growth.

DCM CBC DPR Green 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; }    The project comprises of a senior senior loan of US$100 million  secured by future foreign currency flows  to Commercial Bank of Ceylon PLC (CBC, the Bank), the largest private commercial bank in Sri Lanka and an existing IFC client. The funds will be utilized by the Bank to fund the growth in its green lending portfolio. The financing provided is a fit with the World Bank and IFC strategy of promoting sustainable growth and sustainable energy usage in Sri Lanka.    CBC w  as established in 1969 and is one of five systematically important banks in Sri Lanka. IFC first engaged with CBC in 2003 with an equity investment, followed by a trade line in 2008, risk share facility in 2009, senior loan back by a  future foreign currency flows  in 2012 and a sub debt in 2013. 1) Promoting Sustainability and GHG Reduction: The facility will allow CBC to provide funding at competitive rates for Green projects. This will help improve environmental as well as financial sustainability of CBC's clients, especially given the GHG emissions and high energy costs in Sri Lanka.
2) Expanding access to finance for energy efficiency: Through this project, IFC will provide funding to invest in energy efficiency projects to c. 5,000 SMEs. This will also be a demonstration effect in the SME energy efficiency finance space. This will also contribute towards GHG reduction via energy efficiency projects and use of cleaner energy sources.  Where required, this will be supported with advisory.
3) Job creation and poverty reduction: Based on the IFC Jobs study, Sri Lanka (2012), every $100,000 of lending is estimated to have created 10-31 new jobs. Accordingly, c. 7,500-23,250 new direct jobs will be created by this investment. In addition, there will be indirect job creation, which cannot be directly quantified.
Sunshine Project Founded in 1967, Sunshine Holdings PLC (Sunshine, SUN, or the Sponsor) is a listed Sri Lankan conglomerate with a market capitalization of US$45.5 million. Sunshine operates in the sectors of healthcare, consumer goods, agribusiness and renewable energy. At the Project-level, it is expected to: (i) displace tons of CO2 annually; (ii) help meet Sri Lanka's growing
electricity demand through a cost-competitive energy solution. At the Market-level, it is expected to (iii)
increase competitiveness in the FMCG sector by promoting diversification, and (iv) demonstrate a scheme
to scale-up rooftop solar capacity in the renewable energy sector.
CF CBC Tier 2 The proposed project consists of a subordinated debt investment of US$ 75 million which will strengthen the Tier 2 capital base of CBC, a systemically important bank in Sri Lanka. Market Signal: JBIC''s involvement in the Project sends an important market signal to international investors endorsing Sri Lanka as an investment target. This will have a key impact on FDI flows particularly at a time when the country is emerging from a 26 year civil war and there is ongoing uncertainty in global financial markets.  Strengthen Systemic Impact: A stronger capital base will enable CBC to enhance its systemic contribution to finance the post-conflict reconstruction efforts in the North and East of the country and infrastructure projects identified as a national priority to accelerate economic growth.  Increased Access to Finance: CBC is a major SME lender in Sri Lanka, comprising nearly a third of its portfolio. The Project will provide additional funding for the SME sector, which is a key driver of economic growth, and the tangible development outcome of this financing will be monitored through the incremental increase in the Bank''s SME portfolio.  Promote Regional Integration: The Project will help promote regional economic integration by supporting the expansion of CBC''s expansion of its regional presence.  Optimize Capital Structure of Banks: The Project meets a key priority of the Central Bank of Sri Lanka in raising Tier 2 capital to optimize the capital structure of key domestic banks. Tier 2 capital is relatively new in Sri Lanka and nor widely prevalent since weak market conditions have precluded banks from readily accessing subordinated debt.
CBC Debt DPR The proposed project (the Project) consists of an up to $65mm, 7 year senior loan to Commercial Bank of Ceylon PLC (CBC or the Bank),  The loan will be backed by Diversified Payment Rights (DPR) and CBC is an existing client of IFC.

Capital market development - The Project will provide a capital markets demonstration effect showcasing a novel avenue for Banks to raise long term FCY financing through a future flow of DPR which is currently unleveraged.
