On September 29, 2026, Mizuho Bank and the International Finance Corporation (IFC) announced a $1 billion risk-sharing facility aimed at enhancing access to supply chain finance for suppliers and distributors in the Asia-Pacific region. The IFC will provide up to $500 million in risk-sharing to support various financing instruments, including payables, receivables, and pre-shipment financing. This initiative targets small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) facing working capital constraints, aiming to strengthen commercial ties between multinational buyers and local suppliers. The agreement was signed during the Sibos 2026 event in Miami. The facility is part of the IFC's Global Supply Chain Finance program, which has previously supported over $3.8 billion in supplier finance transactions since its inception. The partnership is expected to mobilize private-sector financing at scale, addressing barriers to finance access for SMEs in emerging markets.
