International Finance Corporation

The Risk Sharing Facility (RSF) of the International Finance Corporation (IFC) is set up for bilateral loss-sharing agreements between IFC and an originator of assets. The originator may be a bank or a corporation. This instrument is of value for originators if they require credit risk protection but not funding. IFC agrees to reimburse the originator for a fixed portion of incurred losses that exceed a predefined threshold or first loss on a portfolio of eligible assets. The objective of providing this risk-sharing instrument is to increase the originator´s capacity to launch new assets within an asset category in which IFC envisions scaling its own exposure.

Private sector projects that are technically sound, have good prospects of being profitable, benefit the local economy, and are environmentally and socially sound are eligible. It is available for mortgage, consumer, student, school, energy efficiency as well as small and medium-sized enterprise loans.
