Abstract

This chapter will focus on an overall assessment of implementation of the Equator Principles (“EPs”) based on survey research from participating banks—Equator Principle Financial Institutions (“EPFIs”). It documents both how individual institutions have changed their organizational structures, policies and procedures following their decisions to adopt the EPs and how they have contributed to the growth and evolution of the regime. These measures, however, are not perfect proxies for “on the ground” performance, so the chapter also addresses the related issues of transparency and enforcement and proposes additional institutional structures that the EPFIs could adopt to enhance the EPs’ effectiveness.
