Background

The total investment is estimated to be US$6 billion. The project's website carries the logo of the International Finance Corporation (IFC), the World Bank's private lending arm, with the wording: "IFC and Chan May LNG have partnered together to co-develop the Chan May LNG facility in order to ensure that it is built to international-standards and follows best industry and environmental and social practices."[7]

In the 2021 Annual Review by the IFC's Facility for Investment Climate Advisory Services (FIAS), Chan May LNG was listed as among ten upstream projects to which FIAS had provided US$60,000 in support.[8]

While there was no evidence of secured project financing as of February 2025, the IFC, the Export Import Bank of the United States, and the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation have been publicly cited as potential funders for the project.[9]
