International Finance Corporation (IFC) has concluded a 1.6 billion rand facility ($98 million) with Citigroup to increase its local currency loans in South Africa, the two institutions announced on Tuesday, April 14.<\/p>\n

This operation aims to support access to financing in rand for local businesses, in a context of currency volatility that complicates the use of foreign currency financing.<\/p>\n

The facility notably supported an anchor investment in a results-based bond issued by FirstRand Bank, an instrument whose payments are conditioned on the achievement of measurable results.<\/p>\n

IFC indicates that it has committed over $33 billion in local currency financing in 71 currencies over the past decade.<\/p>\n

“Local currency financing and the development of capital markets in emerging and developing economies are key priorities,” said Jorge Familiar, Vice President and Treasurer of the World Bank Group.<\/p>\n

The agreement follows a similar facility concluded in 2024 in Kenyan shillings between IFC and Citigroup, which the two institutions plan to expand to other emerging markets.<\/p>\n
