Structuring complex financings – KfW IPEX-Bank has demonstrated its skill in doing just that. For years this expertise has been independently proven in the form of awards from leading international specialist publications.
Every year the leading media of the international financial press present their “Deal of the Year” awards to recognise the outstanding financings of the past year.
We are pleased to have received such accolades from the magazines PFI, IJGlobal, TXF, inspiratia, Proximo, Marine Money and GTR. These awards are independent proof of KfW IPEX-Bank's performance in structuring complex financing transactions in global comparison.
In the 2024/2025 awards season, KfW IPEX-Bank again figured among the winners, receiving 21 awards overall.
KfW IPEX-Bank is participating in the expansion of the Minera Centinela copper project in Chile as part of an international banking consortium with a loan of USD 150 million. The copper mine, 70% owned by Antofagasta, is located about 1,350 kilometres north of the capital Santiago de Chile. The expansion project increases the mine's copper production by about 140,000 tons per year, using only renewable energy and seawater for the production process. KfW IPEX-Bank acts as senior lender, MLA and Untied Loan agent and supports the production of an important raw material for the energy transition with this financing.
KfW IPEX-Bank, together with Nord/LB and Nordic Investment Bank (NIB), is providing long-term financing totaling around EUR 326 million for the construction and operation of the Pagegiai onshore wind farm in Lithuania. With 40 wind turbines from the renowned manufacturer Nordex, it will provide a total installed capacity of 264 MW. The purchase of the clean electricity is secured by a long-term contract within the Achemos Group and is intended to make an essential contribution to the decarbonisation of supply chains in the chemical industry. With this project, KfW IPEX-Bank is underlining its commitment to further advance the energy transition in Europe.

Steel is produced with up to 95% less emissions than conventional steel production.
KfW IPEX-Bank has been advising the project from the outset as financial advisor and has assumed a leading role within the international banking consortium as part of the financing: It acts as Euler Hermes Advisor, Covered Facility Agent and ECA Agent, as well as Riskgälden Advisor and Covered Facility Agent. With this funding, KfW IPEX-Bank is supporting a pioneering project of decarbonisation in the steel industry.
