According to the IFC, the proposed IFC investment is a loan of up to US$33 million (M) to two subsidiaries of Eurasia Group AG, a Switzerland-based company (EG AG, the Guarantor), namely Eurasia Group Kazakhstan LLC (EG KZ) and Eurasia Group Kyrgyzstan LLC (EG KG).

ACCOUNTABILITY MECHANISM OF IFC/MIGA
The Compliance Advisor Ombudsman (CAO) is the independent complaint mechanism and fact-finding body for people who believe they are likely to be, or have been, adversely affected by an IFC or MIGA- financed project. If you submit a complaint to the CAO, they may assist you in resolving a dispute with the company and/or investigate to assess whether the IFC is following its own policies and procedures for preventing harm to people or the environment. If you want to submit a complaint electronically, you can email the CAO at CAO@worldbankgroup.org You can learn more about the CAO and how to file a complaint at http://www.cao-ombudsman.org
