Project description and objectives:
|
The proposed project will increase both the amount and variety of medium-term funding available to a range of financial intermediaries. The product range will include senior debt facilities for MSE and SME, subordinated debt and equity. Loans to partner banks will be syndicated where possible as a means to attracting additional finance to the sector. Transactions will be supported by Technical Cooperation Funds where needed.

Transition impact:
|
By providing a flexible approach with a wide product range, the Bank will support the overall development of the Tajik financial sector. It is expected to have two main sources of transition impact (i) the increased amount of finance available will contribute to market expansion as well as competition and (ii) a demonstration effect will result from EBRD’s investment in local banks through improved corporate governance and overall enhanced performance. A further demonstration effect will result from the bank’s ability to attract B lenders to the Tajik market.
