Project Description
If provided by the financial institution, the Early Warning System Team writes a short summary describing the purported development objective of the project and project components. Review the complete project documentation for a detailed description.
According to IFC website, the project entails investment in development of new products, including products for the agricultural sector; refinancing of some loans coming due and investment in the company’s Latvian entity. The following are the project's expected development impacts: 1) Supporting local producer: Immer Group is one of the largest producers in the manufacturing sector in Ukraine, supporting viable economic activity and preserving jobs during these difficult times in Ukraine 2) Demonstration effect: some of the IFC's financing will be directed towards completion of energy and cost efficient investments, launched before the crisis. The Project will serve as a strong example to other companies in Ukraine and encourage them to reduce their cost by investing in energy efficient technologies. 3) Employment preservation: IFC financing will help sustain operations and, hence, preserve jobs for the Company's employees as well as for its people/ businesses in the supply chain. 4) Food security and resource efficiency: improvement of agriculture yields thanks to locally produced, affordable mulch and silage films helping to save on watering, seeds and cattle food. 5) Support of the weakened economy of a conflict affected country.
