IFC eyes $60-M loan to support women-led firms

THE INTERNATIONAL Finance Corp. (IFC) is eyeing a $60-million loan to CreditAccess Philippines Financing Co., Inc., which operates as OnePuhunan, to help expand lending to women-owned microenterprises in rural areas in the Philippines.

In a disclosure on Dec. 24, the private sector arm of the World Bank Group said the proceeds of the proposed investment will be deployed towards lending to women-owned micro-entrepreneurs in countryside areas.

“The Project will demonstrate the viability and business case for addressing these segments, and contribute towards extending financial access to underserved communities,” it said.

IFC said the proposed investment is a dollar-denominated three-year senior loan of up to $60 million that includes IFC’s own account of up to $20 million and the mobilization of an aggregated amount up to $40 million from B Loan and/or Parallel Loan.

OnePuhunan is a financing company that was established in 2014 and is owned by CreditAccess, SEA B.V. It has over 600,000 customers and 300 branches across 16 regions in the Philippines.

The company provides financial services focusing on low-income individuals and small businesses that are not served by traditional banking institutions. — Aubrey Rose A. Inosante

China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise

The post China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise China’s internet regulator has ordered the country’s biggest technology firms, including Alibaba and ByteDance, to stop purchasing Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D GPUs. According to the Financial Times, the move shuts down the last major channel for mass supplies of American chips to the Chinese market. Why Beijing Halted Nvidia Purchases Chinese companies had planned to buy tens of thousands of RTX Pro 6000D accelerators and had already begun testing them in servers.

Nvidia had unveiled the RTX Pro 6000D in July 2025 during CEO Jensen Huang’s visit to Beijing, in an attempt to keep a foothold in China after Washington restricted exports of its most advanced chips. But momentum is shifting. Industry sources told the Financial Times that Chinese manufacturers plan to triple AI chip production next year to meet growing demand. They believe “domestic supply will now be sufficient without Nvidia.” What It Means for the Future With Huawei, Cambricon, Alibaba, and Baidu stepping up, China is positioning itself for long-term technological independence. Nvidia, meanwhile, faces…
