CFPA Microfinance Institution Established in 1989, China Foundation for Poverty Alleviation (CFPA) is the first Non-Profit Non-Government Organization (NGO) in China that is specialized in microfinance.  Its microfinance activities started in 1996 under a World Bank poverty alleviation project.  To date it has cumulatively disbursed RMB600 million of micro loans to 150,000 households, directly benefiting more than 600,000 people.  To expand its out-reach and to achieve commercial sustainability, CFPA endeavors to spin-off and transform microfinance operations into a commercially operated entity.  CFPA has incorporated a subsidiary, CFPA Microfinance Management Co., (the Company), to serve as the vehicle for this transformation.  CFPA has invited IFC and other investors to join an upcoming capital increase of the Company and to provide both capital and technical assistance.  The project presents an opportunity for IFC to assist in an NGO transformation and to support developing a nationwide commercially operated microfinance franchise. Expand access to finance in rural areas;
Establish standards for microfinance NGO transformations;
Support a nationwide microfinance provider to increase impact and out-reach; and 
-     Showcase the commercial sustainability of microfinance operations in China.
Tianrui Cement Tianrui Cement (Tianrui or the company), a large private cement company in Henan Province, is implementing an expansion program through a combination of an organic and inorganic growth. - Support for Chinas Cement Consolidation:  

The government has stated repeatedly that the cement industry needs to update its technologies to cleaner, more energy efficient New Suspension Pre-heater (NSP) technology, and undergo an industry consolidation.  In the past few years, the government has implemented a series of regulations aimed at ensuring that all new cement facilities use NSP technology, and that producers using Vertical Shaft Kiln (VSK) technology are phased out.  These regulations have been partially successful, as the number of cement manufacturers nation-wide has fallen from over 8,000 to less than 5,000 over the past five years.  Over the same period, the percentage of cement produced using NSP technology has increased from about 25-30% to over 50% nation-wide.  The project will accelerate the consolidation process and solidify Tianruis position as regional industry leader, thereby furthering the countrys development goals and helping to rationalize the Chinese cement industry.

- Support for the Development of Central and Northeastern Provinces in China: 

The government has encouraged greater development in the Western (including central provinces such as Henan) and Northeastern (including Liaoning) provinces of China, in an attempt to establish a more balanced and harmonious development approach, and counter-balance the very fast development along the eastern coast of China.  This Project, with its investment in Henan and Liaoning, fits well into the governments broader development goals for the country.
Darong Granulated Calcium Cyanamide The project will finance:1) an expansion of the calcium cyanamide production from 50,000 tons per annum(tpa) to 150,000 tpa  ;   and 2) the environmental upgrades of 3 existing calcium carbide furnaces, in oder to reduce air emissions and to recover waste heat to generate steam needed for the expansion.    IFC''s investment will help Darong increase economies of scale and further strengthen its position as a low-cost producer of specialized calcium cyanamide, and its derivative products, in both domestic and International markets. IFC''s investment will: promote local private sector development; improve living strandards in Northwest China; and will help alleviate proverty in this remote and less developed region.  Through the increased production of the company, the project will provide employment opportunities at a time when local state-owned enterprises are laying off workers.
GTLP RMB Trade Asset Facility The proposed project involves a funded risk participation of up to US$250 million where IFC with support from bilateral and multilateral organizations, and governments and government/development agencies (collectively the Program Partners) will participate in a portfolio of up to $500 million in eligible RMB trade assets originated by multiple Chinese issuing banks (mostly private sector) and confirmed or discounted by Standard Chartered Bank (SCB). This Project will cover eligible import and export trade transactions between China and mostly other emerging markets (the Project), with a two-year maturity and one year renewal option.   The proposed project is a direct fit with IFC China strategy of facilitating trade and investments between China and emerging markets, supporting SMEs by providing exporters and importers from developing countries, a new currency option to manage their trade flows and promoting South-South collaborations. The project is part of IFCs Global Trade Liquidity Program (GTLP) and seeks to broaden the scope and impact of the program while contributing to developing a strong mitigation mechanism to current and future disruptions to trade finance stemming from currency volatility and availability. The Project is expected to have strong development impacts. First, it will contribute to the development of more market driven solutions for RMB-based trade settlement, with a stronger focus on small private sector Chinese banks (importer-side) and emerging markets (exporter-side). Second, it will contribute to increasing currency availability and reducing volatility risks in international trade, especially at times of crisis like the ongoing Euro-zone crisis, by diversifying the options available to both importers and exporters. Finally, the Project will help attract other global players to the RMB-based trade settlement markets with emerging markets.
RAMCO Project The proposed project is to set up a joint venture asset management company to purchase and resolve non-performing loans in China.
EDC China Project EDC China (EDC or the Company) is a greenfield project involving the construction and operation of 12 datacenters in China.  The project will be carried out in two phases.  The first phase will consist of five datacenters in primary cities (Shanghai and Beijing) and secondary cities (Chengdu, Suzhou and Chongqing). Information technology is an increasingly significant component that underlies the foundation for growth for infrastructure in developing countries. This holds true particularly for China, where growth is fueled by efficient deployment of information technology. Datacenter operations are critical to ensure the security and stability of IT services for all businesses. This is becoming an increasingly necessary component of IT solutions in China as businesses (particularly in the Financial Services Industry) deal with increasingly sensitive and critical information; and firms in China finalize the centralization of their IT production systems, thus making IT services particularly vulnerable to business interruption stemming from threats of any nature, from power outages to natural disasters.  An investment in this nascent and underinvested industry will greatly support the companys ability to develop and grow in the domestic datacenter sector, specifically in secondary areas.  While much emphasis has been put into developing sophisticated IT solutions for companies in China, only recently (especially after the devastating earthquake in Sichuan) has the importance of data security, backup, and consolidation been stressed in the business community.    The project will have significant developmental impact by:    - bringing higher standards of datacenter infrastructure and service to local, national, and even international companies, thus facilitating the implementation of efficient IT solutions and best practices, - supporting a new and independent Chinese company in rolling out operations in frontier regions in China, including Sichuan, Shaanxi and Liaoning, thereby providing quality, cost effective, and secure datacenter facilities for local businesses whose operations may be vastly improved, - demonstrating to other domestic players as it is the first company to provide quality services and infrastructure that are compliant with international standards, and - providing world-class infrastructure and connectivity to specific geographic areas to enable companies that need IT services to operate, especially given that IT infrastructure penetration is not uniform in developing countries such as China.
Anyou Project As one the largest piglet feed companies in China, Anyou (China) Research of Animal Nutrition Company Limited  (Anyou or the Company) plans to build more animal feed facilities in China to meet its expanding market demand. The Project is expected to: (i) support the sustainable economic development and reach  more than 25,000 MSMEs  in the frontier regions in China; (ii) create more than  500 direct jobs and improve local livelihoods in rural/frontier Chinese provinces; and (iii) have a strong demonstration effect  in Chinese animal raising sector
Weigao Project The project consists of an investment program to be implemented by Shandong Weigao Group Medical Polymer Company Ltd. (Weigao or the company) over the next 3 years.  The project will expand the existing production capacity of Weigao and its operating subsidiaries across several business lines and has the following components:   - the expansion of Weigaos production capacity for its existing product range (i.e., consumables that include syringes, sterile infusion sets, blood bags, intravenous needles); - the introduction of new blood purification products, kidney dialysis products, and the establishment of a chain of kidney dialysis treatment centers; - the expansion of orthopedic products production capacity; and  - the expansion of drug-eluting stents production capacity.    Weigao is the leading manufacturer of single-use medical supplies in China.  Since establishment in 2000, its main operation has been the manufacturing of consumable products.  The companys strategic objective for growth is to expand into more technologically advanced, branded medical products of world-class quality, while continuing to be the domestic leader in manufacturing generic disposable medical products. As Weigao enters the technologically more sophisticated, branded medical products sectors  where China is still heavily reliant on imports  the project will help to create a greater domestic capability in these areas (e.g., drug-eluting stents, dialysis, etc.).  Furthermore, the project will foster greater technology transfer.  Through the project, Weigao will continue to demonstrate that Chinese manufacturers with strong medical and technical manufacturing capabilities are able to continue to grow and become world-class.  As the companys production of high-value added products comes on stream, Weigao would become an important tax revenue generator.  The additional employment expected to be generated through the project is estimated at over 200 jobs.
CHUEE SME BOS IFC is in discussion with Bank of Shanghai (BOS or the Bank) to enter into an unfunded risk sharing facility (RSF) to support energy efficiency (EE) and renewable energy (RE) projects with small and medium enterprises (SME) in China (the Project, or CHUEE SME BOS). In this proposed Project, IFC would take credit risk in a loan portfolio to be originated and funded by the Bank. The Project is expected to receive support from the Global Environmental Facility (GEF) and Chinese Central Government. (i)	Environmental benefit:  Upon full ramp-up of CHUEE SME BOS, 132,000 tCO2 GHG emission is estimated to be reduced per year;   (ii)	SME access to finance:  Upon full ramp-up of CHUEE SME BOS, approximately 25 SME borrowers will be financed;  (iii)	Demonstration effect:  Encouraging governments to participate in future public private partnership initiatives of this type, both within and beyond China;   (iv)	Capacity building:  Promoting the improvement of industry-specific loan underwriting criteria and strengthening risk management practices; and

Ltd. (CNE or Company), founded in 2006, is one of the leading private renewable companies in China. CNE and its subsidiaries are engaged in solar downstream project investment and operation, PV manufacturing and EPC, both in China and overseas.  As of Dec 2016, the Company operates close to 2GW of downstream projects in China and overseas and manufactures PV modules of 2GWh in capacity.  IFC is providing a corporate financing facility for development and construction of CNEs downstream solar projects in emerging markets outside of China, such as Turkey, Pakistan and Thailand. 1) Significant positive Environmental and Social (E&S) impact: Utilization of solar power to generate electricity helps alleviate the air pollution problem in China and other emerging economies where the projects will be located.  It is expected to lead to an improvement in environmental and health issues arising out of smog and harmful air particles.
2) Avoided emissions and renewable energy promotion: solar energy, compared to traditional coal-fired plants, which account for a majority of installed generation capacity in China and many other emerging economies, reduces overall carbon dioxide emissions from power generation and helps mitigate climate change. 
3) Demonstration effect: IFC's investment will send a positive signal to other private sector investors in the renewable energy sector and promote South-South investments.

         Guangxi Fenglin Wood Industry Group Co., Ltd. (Fenglin or the Company), an IFC existing client, is planning to decommission an existing medium-density fiberboard (MDF) plant and construct a new particle board plant in Nanning, Guangxi (the Project). (1) Private sector development: Continued investments from IFC in successful and scalable companies like Fenglin contribute to the development and consolidation of fragmented forestry and wood panel industries in China, particularly in Guangxi Province, a frontier region where the local economy depends heavily on the industry. Fenglin would continue adopting good practices and high standards for its business practices, such as implementing a laser measuring system for scrap woods delivered to its gate, which allows a more objective and prompt way to compensate its suppliers; introducing higher value-added and innovative products to the market using its in-house R&D work; and adopting international standards and systems in its operations, thereby setting a demonstration effect for the industry as a whole.

(2) Farmers' reach and local economy: The Project would procure at least around 363,000 tons of scrap wood per year directly and indirectly from local forestry farmers in Guangxi Province. This helps to stimulate economic activity among local forestry households, create additional income for them and directly improve their livelihoods. In addition, the Project will procure about 90% more chemicals, such as formaldehyde and urea from local SME suppliers, providing them with more business opportunities.

(3) Environmental impact: The Project would help to raise the industry environmental standards in China through the use of advanced technologies for particle board production including a new air emission system. The new plant would have capability to produce boards with formaldehyde free adhesive on a large scale and continuous basis when the market demands such products, which is currently rare in the industry in China. The Project would also help productively utilize scrap wood that would otherwise be burnt for cooking, thus reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The Project is a sustainable solution to resolving the issues of diminishing wood supply and scrap wood waste, and creates a positive impact on the local forestry industry. The Company's commitment to the highest national and international environmental standards sets an example for the industry.
JC Leasing Syndicated Sustainability Loan The proposed investment entails up to 5-year senior syndicated sustainability loan to JC International Finance & Leasing Co., Ltd. (JC Leasing or the Company), a commercial leasing company sponsored by Legend Holdings Corporation (3396.HK) in China. The loan is to support JC Leasing in growing its climate finance portfolio (energy efficiency, waste management, sustainable water, clean transportation, renewable energy, etc.) and social finance portfolio (women-led SMEs, healthcare, education and vocational training, etc.). The investment comprises (i) IFC A loan of up to US$100 million equivalent in RMB, and (ii) IFC syndicated loan of up to US$125 million equivalent in RMB. The loan will be aligned with the Green Loan Principles (GLP) and Social Loan Principles (SLP) of the Loan Market Association (LMA) to ensure transparency in use of proceeds, monitoring, and reporting. The investment is expected to be IFCs first sustainability loan to a financial institution in China. Stakeholders Effect - Increased access to climate finance and social finance: IFC expects this project to provide long-term financing for climate finance projects (such as energy efficiency, waste management, sustainable water, clean transportation, renewable energy, etc.) and a wide range of social projects (such as women-led SMEs, healthcare, education and vocational training, etc.).

Market Creation  Sustainability: IFC anticipates by helping JC Leasing improve/build a benchmark Sustainability Financing Framework/ESMS, it can set market standards to promote sustainability finance in China and to nurture interest and participation from commercial investors and development financial institutions that will facilitate the buildup of an adequate investor base for the project. The project would be IFCs first sustainability loan to a financial institution in China and one of the first of its kind in China to be LMA compliant among leasing companies. It would establish a benchmark for financial institutions in China and also for other leasing companies in China to emulate.
