ADB to provide assistance to build 2 wind farms
The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has engaged in its first Shariah-compliant project financing, offering assistance to two projects to build wind farms close to the port city of Karachi, exploiting two partial credit guarantees valued up to $66 million to the Islamic Development Bank (IDB).
The Fauji Foundation, which is the majority stake holder in the two projects had demanded that all financing be acquired in compliance with Shariah principles, so ADB used an innovative structure in which it supplied a partial credit guarantee to half of the IDB financing.
