Does the DFI disclose the total investment cost?
Does the DFI disclose the DFI commitment for the investment?
Does the DFI disclose the disbursement for the investment?
Definition
The total cost of an investment at the time of signing, including financing from co-investors and from the project client.
DFI commitment refers to the financial commitment made by the DFI for the activity as a whole, for the lifetime of the activity. This is generally a high-level commitment rather than a detailed breakdown of the activity budget.
The disbursement is the actual size of the investment made by the DFI.
Additional definitions and notes
These should be disclosed in a consistent reporting currency.
The disbursement figure may vary from the committed amount due to changing conditions after the point of activity approval. Therefore, it should be reported separately from the committed amount.
