7.10. Appraisal Checklist: Financial Institution

7.10.1. FIs comprise a wide range of institutions, including Apex institutions that service one or more FIs in a country. FIs may provide services to one or more sectors in a country (agriculture, various categories of industry, etc.), including support to microfinance organizations. The latter may also receive support from the banking sector in a country, with or without FI support. Therefore, the generic checklist that follows should be used with caution and appropriately modified to address the nature and form of the FI that is under appraisal.

7.10.1.1. Preparation at Headquarters

7.10.1.1.1. Meet with Division Manager and Project Officer to receive briefing on ADB's approach to funding FIsin the country, the sector (e.g., agriculture, industry, etc), the objectives of the project and of the appraisal mission.

7.10.1.1.2. Study and note all positive and negative attributes ascribed to country, sector, and similar projects in: (i) the country strategy paper to understand the role that the project is to be designed to fulfill; (ii) relevant reports on the country profile, institutions to be involved in design, authorization, implementation, and operation of the project, particularly where available, the proposed FI; (iii) all reports on project identification and preparation; (iv) all relevant reports on country and sector project performance; (v) all reports issued within the past 5 years on similar FI projects in the country. Review credit-rating agency publications to determine if the FI being appraised has been assigned a credit rating.
