Project description
and objectives:
|
A proposed US$ 30 million syndicated loan to Bank TuranAlem. The loan would allow Bank TuranAlem to continue to finance strong private sector companies with little access to term funding.
The loan would strengthen BTA's funding base, allowing it to provide financing to private sector companies that have few alternatives for attracting term loans in Kazakhstan.
|
Transition impact:
|
BTA is one of few sources of term financing in Kazakhstan. This facility would allow the bank to continue to finance strong private sector companies with little access to term funding. The facility would also have a strong demonstration effect by attracting commercial banks to accept longer tenors on BTA then they have previously.
|
