Brazil's first blended finance auction raises $7.9 bln for sustainable projects
SAO PAULO, Oct 18 (Reuters) -Brazil's finance minister said on Friday that the country's first auction under the so-called Eco Invest credit line program raised 45 billion reais ($7.93 billion) in financing for sustainable projects.
Eco Invest, launched this year by the Brazilian government to raise private capital through financing lines, is part of a broader package for financing climate change solutions with long-term currency hedges announced in February.
The first Eco Invest auction took place on Oct. 11.
The final leveraged amount came out of 7 billion reais invested by the government in the "blended finance" instrument, which mixes public and private capital.
"The public sector contributes with 1 real and the private sector contributes with at least 6 reais, a low-interest resource to leverage ecological transformation projects," Finance Minister Fernando Haddad said at an event in São Paulo.
At the event, he reiterated that Brazil's economy needs to go back to growing at least as fast as the global average and in a sustainable way.
