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 project consists of a subordinated loan to the Commercial International Bank S.A.E Egypt (“CIB” or the “Bank”). This Tier 2 capital instrument is intended to add diversity to the Bank’s capital base and long-term growth prospects. Established in 1975 as a joint venture between Chase Manhattan Bank and the National Bank of Egypt, CIB is currently the leading private bank in the market, having a well-established franchise especially in the corporate segment, and it is also Egypt’s largest private bank by assets. The Bank offers The Bank offers comprehensive, wide-ranging financial products and services through a network of 194 branches and 6,474 employees, operating in all segments of Egypt’s banking sector: corporate, commercial, business banking, and retail wealth management, all of which are offered to customers through client-centric teams.
Investment Description
Here you can find a list of individual development financial institutions that finance the project.
Financial Intermediary
A financial intermediary is a bank or financial institution that receives funds from a development bank. A financial intermediary then lends these funds to their clients (private actors) in the form of loans, bonds, guarantees and equity shares. Financial intermediaries include insurance, pension and equity funds. The direct financial relationship is between the development bank and the financial intermediary.
Private Actor Relationship
A Private Actor is a non-governmental body or entity that is the borrower or client of a development project, which can include corporations, private equity and banks. This describes the private actors and their roles in relation to the project, when private actor information is disclosed or has been further researched.

There is often limited information publicly available about what development banks are funding through financial intermediaries. In 2021, the Early Warning System partnered with Oxfam International to incorporate information on high-risk projects being funded by financial intermediaries receiving funding from the International Finance Corporation (IFC) and the Dutch Development Bank (FMO).

The information listed below describes the relationship between the different private actors linked to high-risk sectors and subprojects of IFC and FMO's financial intermediary investments and/or the financial intermediary's parent companies made from 2017 through 2020, including any associated ring fences.

The database, however, does not explicitly or implicitly imply that IFC or FMO have material exposure to or are contractually or legally accountable to the sub-projects financed by their financial intermediaries or the financial intermediary's parent companies. It only shows a seemingly financial relationship among the different private actors, the financial intermediaries, and IFC or FMO.
