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 the Bank’s website, the objective of this project is to provide a senior loan which will be used to grow the loan book of EDV. The institution's client base consists mainly of female entrepreneurs throughout Indonesia.

Supporting inclusive businesses is aligned with FMO's commitment on reducing inequalities, and this investment has a 100% FMO Reducing Inequalities label. Further, FMO's loan will contribute to diversifying the client's liquidity profile for prudent asset liability management.

Early Warning System Project Analysis
For a project with severe or irreversible impacts to local community and natural resources, the Early Warning System Team may conduct a thorough analysis regarding its potential impacts to human and environmental rights.

The investment is E&S categorized as C given the business nature and loan size with the average ticket of USD 300. EDV does not have any exposure to activities on FMO's exclusion list, or project finance, or IFC Performance Standard triggered transactions. In terms of Client Protection risk, FMO attaches great importance to the protection of end customers. It is noted that EDV is a responsible microfinance institution with a strong social mission and is in the process of getting SPTF-Cerise certified.

The risks that might come with microfinance investments, such as, among others, over-indebtedness, transparency of interest rates, and responsible pricing, are covered by FMO in other assessments such as the Client Protection Principles (CPPs).
