General Operational Policies*


GLOBAL LOANS TO INTERMEDIARY FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS - CONTRIBUTIONS BY SUBBORROWERS

Policy

CONTRIBUTIONS BY SUBBORROWERS to global programs through intermediary financial institutions will be recognized as part of the LOCAL COUNTERPART CONTRIBUTION, in an aggregate amount not exceeding 15% of the total cost of the program.

Basic Guidelines

This policy is subject to application of the following eligibility criteria:

1. The eligible contribution must have been for NEW INVESTMENTS in the subproject submitted to the intermediary institution for financing. Contributions by subborrowers to finance the recurrent costs of labor, working capital, amounts attributed to investments already made, or contributions in kind will not be recognized.

2. CONTRIBUTIONS BY THE INTERMEDIARY INSTITUTION and/or the central government to the program must be equal to or larger than the eligible contribution by the subborrowers. There must also be assurances that the contribution of the subborrowers will form part of the local contribution to the program.

3. The subborrowers must present documentation that enables their contributions to be verified.

4. The ELIGIBLE CONTRIBUTION of the subborrowers, in the aggregate, MAY NOT EXCEED 15% of the total cost of the program.

* The operational policies of the Inter-American Development Bank are intended to provide operational guidance to staff in assisting the Bank's borrowing member countries. Over the course of the Bank's more than 40 years of operations, the approach to developing operational policies has taken various forms, ranging from the preparation of detailed guidelines to broad statements of principle and intent. Many policies have not been updated since they were originally issued, and a few reflect emphases and approaches of earlier years which have been superseded by specific mandates of the Bank's Governors, the most recent being the Eighth Replenishment mandates of 1994.

In accordance with the Bank's information disclosure policy, the Bank is making all of its operational policies available to the public through the Public Information Center. Users please note that the Bank's operational policies are under a process of continuous review. This review process includes preparation of best practice papers summarizing experience at the Bank and other similar institutions, and sector strategy papers.
