SUPPORTING COVID-19 RESILIENCE THROUGH UNICEF Healthcare The global pandemic has exacerbated poverty rates and global inequality, affecting millions of children worldwide. The World Bank and the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) were looking for new ways to accelerate funding to meet the increasingly urgent needs for their joint pandemic relief programs. Citi acted as sole structure and arranger for a first-of-its kind $100 million bond transaction from the World Bank’s International Bank for Reconstruction and Development, which allowed UNICEF to access capital markets funding to support its private sector fundraising activities. The bond gave institutional and high net worth investors an opportunity to support UNICEF’s work with children, including COVID-19 resilience programs around the world. The cash flows on the bond are linked to future donations to UNICEF. The bond proceeds will support two programs: $50 million will be used by the World Bank to finance its sustainable development programs, including projects targeting the health and socioeconomic impacts of COVID-19; the other $50 million will be allocated to UNICEF to expand programs in 18 countries, targeting future funding of up to $450 million. EMPOWERING WOMEN ENTREPRENEURS IN MEXICO Economic Inclusion and Diversity & Equity Women represent one-third of entrepreneurs in Mexico, yet they typically have few opportunities to access financial investments for their businesses. In 2021, Citi partnered with the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation (DFC) and Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) to provide $70 million to Banco Compartamos, the largest microfinance institution in Mexico. Compartamos, which translates to “let’s share” in Spanish, is using the funding to support and empower more than 135,000 small businesses, approximately 90% of them women-owned. A portion of the loans is dedicated to the less developed regions of the country, including Chiapas, Oaxaca, Guerrero and Puebla. Learn more in this video . DEVELOPING MORE SUSTAINABLE RAIL LINES Sustainable Transportation The devel opment of a 25-kilometer monorail line is one of the largest construction projects in Panama since the expansion of the Panama Canal. Citi acted as sole global coordinator and mandated lead arranger for $2 billion in green loans for the Panama Metro project on behalf of a consortium of Korean companies led by Hyundai Engineering & Construction. The elevated train line will have initial capacity to transport 18,000 passengers per hour in each direction, with an ultimate goal of more than 30,000 passengers per hour in each direction. The monorail will incorporate Hitachi’s B-CHOP system, which harnesses the train’s regenerative energy to substantially reduce energy consumption while the train is in braking mode. The system is expected to cut back 20,000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions annually while providing energy for future use.
