Regulatory environment and transparency of information

Regulations require that both International Finance Institutions (IFIs) and local banks closely monitor and report on the environmental impact of their lending operations. This chapter discusses issues related to transparency of commercial and performance information associated with IFIs’ portfolios of environmental credit lines. It also looks at how the lack of sufficiently available information can constrain the better understanding of some of the barriers to increased environmental lending in the EU’s Eastern Partnership (EaP) countries.
