British International Investment (BII) is the UK’s development finance institution. BII invests to solve the biggest global development challenges by investing patient, flexible capital to support private sector growth and innovation. BII has over 70 years of experience successfully supporting the sustainable, long-term growth of businesses in Africa and Asia, and have recently expanded to invest in the Indo-Pacific and the Caribbean.
BII invests to achieve impact and a financial return. Over the past five years, BII has committed almost £7 billion of new investments, with net assets growing in value to approximately £7.5 billion. BII has now invested in 1,200 businesses which directly employ over 900,000 workers and support many more.
Over the next five years, BII plans to grow further and aims to commit around £9 billion of new investments over the period. BII has a longstanding commitment to Financial Services (with a portfolio of over $2bn invested in financial services across more than 150 investees, representing about one-third of BII’s total portfolio by value).
As part of this commitment, BII has launched The Ghana Investment Support Programme (GhISP). GhISP is a technical assistance programme that aims to increase investment flows to underserved SMEs in Ghana, focusing on BII’s investment themes (Gender, BOLD, Climate, Target Populations) by employing a dual portfolio support and market shaping approach.
Anchored around Growth Investment Partners (GIP), BII's local currency debt investment vehicle for SMEs in Ghana, GhISP provides 1) pre and post-investment support to GIP and other BII portfolio companies in Ghana, and 2) shapes the broader investment ecosystem to unlock investment through market-level pipeline development and field building.
