FMO (the Netherlands Development Finance Company) has provided a 5-year USD 20 million combination of a subordinated Tier 2 (USD 10m) and senior (USD 10m) loan to Trade & Development Bank of Mongolia (TDB). TDB is one of the three large banks in Mongolia and the major corporate business bank in the country.
Mongolia experiences a mining-driven economic boom and TDB plays an essential role in fulfilling the strong economic potential of the country. By developing an Environmental and Social Management System (ESMS), TDB will set an important example in Mongolia’s relatively small domestic financial sector. FMO supports this process with a margin reduction incentive.
In addition, by providing Tier 2 capital we enable the bank to continue its successful growth trajectory. The transaction complements FMO’s Asian portfolio in Mongolia very well, since existing clients XacBank and KhanBank both have a strong focus on smaller SME’s and retail finance.
