According to the Bank’s website, the proposed investment entails an investment of up to US$60 million for IFC’s own account in Allianz Asia Pacific Infrastructure Credit Fund (the “Fund”) to be launched by Allianz Global Investors (“AGI”) with a target fund size of US$500 million. The Fund will focus on providing senior secured loans to medium-sized, high-growth infrastructure companies in emerging markets across the Asia-Pacific region. Up to 40% of the investment is expected to be allocated to climate finance, supporting sustainable infrastructure projects.
AGI is headquartered in Frankfurt, Germany. The Fund will be advised by Allianz Global Investors Singapore Ltd. Allianz Global Investors Singapore Ltd team is based in Singapore and Mumbai. The Fund will focus on investments in emerging Asian markets, primarily Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, and the Philippines in Southeast Asia, as well as India in South Asia.
The Fund will provide corporate lending to infrastructure companies in APAC emerging markets including Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, Philippines, and India. The sub-sectors in which the fund will invest include renewable energy, energy infrastructure, digital infrastructure, transportation, logistics and environmental infrastructure. Developing or operating some of these infrastructure assets may cause significant adverse risks and potential impacts, particularly in relation to impacts on biodiversity, involuntary resettlement, occupational health and safety, and community health and safety. Thus, the project has been categorized as FI-1 according to IFC's Policy on Environmental and Social Sustainability.
The proposed investment entails an investment of up to US$60 million for IFC’s own account in a US$500 million target private credit fund to be launched by AGI.

AGI’s Luxembourg branch serves as the Fund’s authorized Alternative Investment Fund Manager (the “AIFM”) and will receive non-discretionary advice from Allianz Global Investors Singapore Ltd., a Singapore-based private company owned by AGI.

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
