Patria Infrastructure Fund IV - New Development Bank

Brazil’s current investment in infrastructure has been insufficient to meet the demand of its growing economy, or to offset asset depreciation which was at around 2% of GDP over the past two decades. An estimated annual investment of 4% of GDP is required to maintain the country’s target infrastructure stock of 60% of GDP by 2037. While public investments in percent of GDP in the infrastructure sector has been contracting during 2010-2019, private investment in percent of GDP has increased. Private investment participation reached 63% of total investment in infrastructure sector during 2017-2018.

The Fund expects to invest in opportunities in Brazil within key infrastructure sectors such as transportation and logistics, data infrastructure, and environmental services sectors. NDB’s funds will be invested in projects with development characteristics, expansion and growth.

The objective of this investment is, through equity investment in the private equity fund Patria Infrastructure Fund IV, L.P. (the “Fund”), to support and catalyze investments in Brazil’s key infrastructure sectors in line with the targets set by the Brazilian government, to achieve sustainable economic growth.

The positive impacts of the Project include: (i) contributing to addressing scarcity and bottleneck challenges in various key infrastructure sub-sectors in Brazil; (ii) helping to fill the gap of capital needs in infrastructure sector; and (iii) serving as a critical enabler of faster and inclusive economic growth, through developing infrastructure to bring a wide range of socio-economic benefits to the country.

Project is being implemented by Patria Infrastructure General Partner IV Ltd.

The Project is Category “FI-A” in line with NDB’s Environment and Social Framework, as the investments by the Fund will be in a variety of infrastructure projects, both greenfield and brownfield, some of which will carry significant E&S impacts. These impacts will be mitigated by adherence to the requirements of Brazil’s country system and implementing Patria’s Environmental and Social Management system (ESMS), which incorporate international good practices. This alignment will meet the requirements of the country system and NDB’s Environment and Social Framework.
