Infrastructure Finance
Multilateral Development Bank (MDB) and Export Credit Agency (ECA) roles are distinctive and different to commercial lenders, institutional lenders and other sources of available credit.
MDBs have goals to advance the development of new and existing infrastructure, thereby reducing economic inequality. Due to MDBs being government-supported institutions, they provide a higher level of legal security and assurance that provides investors with the confidence to join and finance transactions.
The ECA’s role is to support exports from the country the ECA represents into foreign jurisdictions. An ECA can offer an exporter or importer competitive debt financing and insurance terms to facilitate a transaction. Typically, such favourable conditions and lending terms would not be available from commercial lenders in the market.
