Project description
and objectives:
|
The proposed project envisages an equity investment in Sibacadembank to acquire 25% of voting rights plus one share in the leading private bank in western Siberia. The investment will increase Sibacadembank’s capital base and is designed to support the bank’s growth as it expands its corporate and retail lending activities throughout its network of offices in Siberia.
|
Transition impact:
|
The project will promote financial intermediation and competition in the banking sector through its support of a private regional bank that is developing dynamically in its local market and expanding the range of banking products for its client base.
EBRD participation in Sibacadembank is intended to set an example for other regional banks that a well-managed private bank can compete successfully in its market niche with state banks and banks which are members of industrial-financial groups.
By setting high standards for corporate governance the project is designed to assist Sibacadembank in meeting international standards of transparency and business conduct.
