Who is our customer
OJSC Hamkorbank (HB), founded in 1991, is a privately owned bank in Uzbekistan with its headquarters in Andijan. The bank has over 1700 employees and currently operates 27 branches and 150 mini-banks in almost all regions and major cities in Uzbekistan. HB is a universal bank, serving a wide range of clients with a complete range of financial products, including lending for various purposes, deposit taking, money transfer services, foreign exchange, letters of credit and savings. Financing to small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) is core to HB's lending operations. HB has a B2 (stable) rating from Moody's and a B- from Fitch Ratings.
What is our funding objective?
FMO has provided HB with a US$13 million loan. The facility will be used for on-lending to local micro-sized enterprises and SMEs.
Why do we fund this investment?
For many years Uzbekistan and the Uzbek financial sector in particular have been relatively isolated from the international financial system. As such, US dollar funding is rather scarce in the local market. Local companies require dollars to purchase capital goods and supplies abroad. FMO's loan is a means for HB to meet local demand and provide dollar funding to local companies, which will further benefit their development, growth and economic relevance.
