Who is our customer
TBC-bank is one of the largest privately owned banks in Georgia. Consolidation of TBC-bank’s position in the SME market is underlined with their past successful acquisitions of Bank Constanta, Bank Republic and Pro Credit portfolio. TBC-bank is listed on the Premium Segment of the London Stock Exchange.
What is our funding objective?
With this GEL-loan, FMO supports the natural growth of the Bank's overall loan portfolio in local currency. It also contributes to minimize the forex risk for TBC-bank’s clients. FMO will contribute to the de-dollarization of Georgia’s highly dollarized economy.
Why do we fund this investment?
Due to an active de-dollarization policy of the Central Bank, there is a scarcity in the market for GEL. With this facility, FMO supports the Bank to access local currency funding. TBC-bank will use part of the funds in order to reduce inequalities in the segment of youth.
What is the Environmental and Social categorization rationale?
TBC-bank has been categorised as Category B in accordance with FMO’s Sustainability Policy. This categorisation is based on the level of E&S risk associated with the sectors TBC-bank invest in and the complexity of their IFC PS Triggered Transactions. As part of this deal, TBC-bank will be required to apply the EDFI Exclusion List, Georgia’s E&S laws and regulations and the IFC Performance Standards Framework for the identified Triggered Transactions.
