100% Credit Guarantee for Gender Bonds from Infra Zamin Pakistan


Infra Zamin is a subsidiary of the Private Infrastructure Development Group (PIDG). PIDG is an innovative infrastructure development and finance organization funded by six governments. PIDG also supports affiliate entities such as GuarantCo and Dhamana, whose products can also be found on this Directory.

Infra Zamin Pakistan has played a pivotal role in facilitating the issuance of Pakistan’s first Gender Bond for Kashf Foundation, aimed at promoting women’s financial inclusion and entrepreneurship. The bond was backed by an Infra Zamin's credit guarantee covering 100% of the principal amount and two interest installments, significantly enhancing its credit profile and boosting investor confidence. This led to full subscription and favorable pricing terms that would not have been achievable otherwise. The pioneering transaction mobilized private capital toward gender-focused initiatives, empowering over 500,000 women-led microenterprises and advancing social and economic development across underserved communities in Pakistan.
