IDB Invest has contributed $30 million and managed to attract other investors, including Banco Santander, Banco Aliado, Banco BHD, and Global Bank, all of whom have contributed to the remaining $85 million for this transaction, which is 100% focused on climate-related financing.
In addition, IDB Invest will advise Davivienda Costa Rica on the design of green financing lines to suit sustainable construction, green mobility, and renewable energy segments. Moreover, the initiative will include an environmental and social action plan to help Davivienda Costa Rica strengthen its ecological policies and practices.
