InfraCredit, FSD Africa Sign Technical Assistance Agreement to Unlock Climate-Aligned Local Currency Infrastructure Bonds in Nigeria

We have signed a Technical Assistance Agreement with InfraCredit, a 'AAA"(NG) rated specialised infrastructure credit guarantee institution in Nigeria, under which we will provide funding for technical assistance to support pre-feasibility studies as well as the pre-transaction and transaction costs, including the design of innovative financing solutions for eligible projects that can issue climate-aligned local currency infrastructure bonds.

The successful implementation of the project will enable up to ten climate aligned infrastructure projects reach financial close, support new job creation and enable more capital markets instruments to be issued to institutional investors.
