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.

The proposed project aims to provide an equity investment in Producers Savings Bank Corporation (“Producers Bank” or the “Bank”) through subscription in newly issued common equity shares of up to PHP510 million (approximately US$11.1 million) or a 19.99% stake to support its expansion strategy to provide more financing and services to SMEs and agriculture sector in the rural areas of the Philippines through organic growth and acquisitions.

Expected Development Impacts
- Agri-Finance: Producers Bank is one of the few banks in the country who has a strong platform to reach the agri-sector. The Bank has strong reach in the rural areas and is planning to expand into the underserved areas of the country. The Bank's strategy is in line with the strategy of WBG and the local government.
- SME: Increased access to finance is indispensable to grow the competitiveness of SMEs. The proposed investment will help Producers Bank accelerate its plans to address the funding gap to SMEs.

Contact Information
This section aims to support the local communities and local CSO to get to know which stakeholders are involved in a project with their roles and responsibilities. If available, there may be a complaint office for the respective bank which operates independently to receive and determine violations in policy and practice. Independent Accountability Mechanisms receive and respond to complaints. Most Independent Accountability Mechanisms offer two functions for addressing complaints: dispute resolution and compliance review.

ACCOUNTABILITY MECHANISM OF IFC

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/
