Eligibility: JBIC extends funding to financially sound projects in developed and developing countries when commercial finance is difficult to obtain. Projects in developing countries should involve a transfer of technology and have a positive impact on job creation. Projects must comply with a set of project specific environmental guidelines. Overseas Investment Loans can be extended to Japanese companies or joint ventures or to financial institutions that take equity or loan positions in a project overseas that has Japanese participation. Under this program, JBIC may also take an equity position in the project. Energy and Natural Resource Finance is also only available when a Japanese partner is involved.
Types of Projects Funded: JBIC funds a variety of sectors but concentrates on infrastructure, agribusiness, forestry, and food because of their impact on economic development. JBIC provides special financing for energy and natural resource projects in order to ensure a stable supply of energy and resources for Japan and other parts of Asia. Priorities include natural gas and oil supplies, iron and non-ferrous metals, copper, aluminum, pulp and paper, and precious metals.
