Infrastructure Crisis Facility

The Infrastructure Crisis Facility ensures the availability of long-term debt to support private infrastructure projects affected by capital shortages because of the global crisis.

Launched in December 2009 with a financial commitment from KfW and pledges from DEG of Germany, Proparco of France, and the European Investment Bank, the facility has co-financing arrangements of about $4 billion.

The initiative has committed $100 million to projects in four countries, including a deep-water port in Vietnam and a natural-gas distribution project in Peru.
