Growing green and MSME lending in Central America

ILX participated in a senior unsecured syndicated loan from IDB Invest to one of El Salvador’s largest banks. The bank operates an extensive physical nationwide network, with a significant market share in assets, loans, and deposits, and an extensive physical and digital network.

50% of the facility supports MSME on-lending, and the other 50% is earmarked for climate-related assets. The facility aims to boost MSME finance access and to grow the bank’s green lending for renewable energy, sustainable construction and energy efficiency, supporting more inclusive and sustainable economic development in the Central American country.
