FinDev Canada is Canada's development finance institution (DFI), supporting the private sector in developing markets to promote sustainable development. In today’s increasingly complex world, development finance is needed more than ever to drive sustainable and inclusive economic growth. DFIs are an important tool in this regard, providing financial services aimed at growing the local private sector in developing countries. Through our loans and investments, we look to mobilize private sector investment in developing markets to support business initiatives which enable gender equality, climate and nature action and market development, all under the banner of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals. We offer financial services such as investments, loans and guarantees. Additionally, through our Technical Assistance Facility, we help our clients become more proactive and inclusive agents in their respective markets. As a development finance institution (DFI), FinDev Canada is uniquely positioned to take on greater risk than most private investors. While our primary approach involves deploying core capital to support our lending activities, we also have the flexibility to leverage concessional finance when the conditions are appropriate - enhancing our capability to catalyse impactful investments. FinDev Canada blends concessional and commercial capital to: - Mitigate risk and improve the risk-return profile of investments for private investors - Crowd in private sector investors who would otherwise not participate in development finance - Support high-impact sectors including sustainable infrastructure, agribusiness and forestry, and the financial industry - Advance development goals in gender equality, climate and nature action, and local market development We are guided by the DFI Enhanced Blended Finance Principles, ensuring our investments are additional, commercially sustainable, and reinforce markets.
