Expanding green and blue financing in Ecuador

ILX participated in an IDB Invest loan to a mid-sized Ecuadorian bank. The transaction built on ILX’s existing exposure in Ecuador and supported the expansion of the bank’s food production, green, and blue portfolios.

The company has deep expertise in agro-industrial and aquaculture value chains, particularly bananas and shrimp, and a strong presence in coastal regions. Proceeds are allocated primarily to green projects (77%), including blue economy activities (9%), and to food production lending (23%), supporting climate resilience and food security in Ecuador. The investment aligned with ILX’s strategy of scaling exposure to productive, climate-aligned financial institutions in Latin America, delivering measurable impact alongside market equivalent risk-adjusted returns.
