Project Description
Export-Import Bank of India (“Exim Bank”) was formed in 1981 under the Export-Import Bank of India Act, and is a financial institution whose capital has been wholly subscribed by the Government of India. Exim Bank provides financial assistance to exporters and importers and also aims to develop relationships with export-oriented companies by assisting them in various capacities such as identifying overseas markets, providing loans and guarantees and export credit. Its non-institutional clients include mainly private sector entities.
The proposed investment involves a long term loan to Exim Bank. The proceeds of the IFC loan component will be used to finance exports to Africa from private sector exports clients of Exim Bank.
