Blended Concessional Finance is one of the most significant tools that a development finance institution like IFC can use, in cooperation with development partners, to address market failures and to help mobilize private investment in pioneering projects and challenging environments.
Blended finance solutions at IFC can be structured as debt, equity, risk-sharing, or guarantee products with different rates, tenor, security, or rank. Under select facilities, they can also be performance-based incentive structures. Solutions are tailored to address specific market barriers and failures and the requirements of donor partners.
