According to the IFC, the project involves the establishment of a debt fund, Patria Credito Estruturado Desenvolvimento Amazônia (the “Fund”) along with Patria Investimentos Ltda. (“Patria” or the “Fund Manager”) as Fund Manager, to mobilize funding for investments in the Brazilian Legal Amazon region. The Fund will ensure that the mobilized resources achieve the desired impact objectives of addressing the financing gap in the regions. Funds will be deployed for mid-to-large corporates as well as individuals and MSMES (micro, small, and medium enterprises) through supporting NBFIs (non-bank financial institution) whose use of proceeds directly supports initiatives within the area. The Fund will be incorporated as a Fundo de Investimentos em Direitos Creditórios with an initial fund life of 9 years.
According to the IFC, the Debt Fund will target small & medium enterprises (SMEs) and mid-cap companies in industrial, agriculture, logistics and warehousing related sectors through a collateral securitization strategy for receivables, individuals, and SMEs as well as payroll lending to individuals. The Fund may also support brownfield projects such as telecom, distributed energy, port terminals, airports and water & sanitation. Contextual Environmental and Social (E&S) risks in the region are of a high nature and include deforestation, child labor, land conflicts, potential adverse impacts on Indigenous People and biodiversity. The Project has therefore been categorized as FI-1. Higher E&S risk sub-projects, as well as coal-related activities, will not be eligible. Applicable requirements for the project include IFC’s Exclusion List, Brazilian E&S laws, the Performance Standards (PSs), and the WB EHS (World Bank Group Environmental, Health, and Safety) guidelines as applicable.
