I don't know of other DFIs that have a model like this one. The Dutch have the FMO, which is funded partly by the government and partly by the banks.
However, there are a number of European funds. European law allows for much greater risks in retail banking, so there are a number of funds in Europe. These funds are registered in particular in Switzerland, Luxembourg and the Netherlands. They enable citizens to invest amounts that are then directly invested in developing countries. They offer benefits when it comes to tax credits, for example. A similar mechanism isn't possible under Canadian law.
We must take this challenge into consideration when determining the product to design in partnership with the Desjardins members. We do have a large pool of people who may be interested in investing in development. However, no structure in Canada currently allows for this. I dream of a model that would allow for this. Perhaps it could be created through the DFI or another way.
