About FMO

FMO’s vision is that a thriving private sector will help support and grow lasting economic, environmental and social development. By empowering people to employ their skills and improve their quality of life, current and future generations in emerging markets will benefit from sustainable development.

Our mission is to provide capital, share knowledge and create partnerships. Our clients are ambitious entrepreneurs and financial institutions - often in low-income countries. We partner with banks and other institutions with specific expertise. Together, we create access to a full range of financial products, sector expertise and knowledge-based services.

FMO's investment portfolio is €4.6 billion, making it one of the largest bilateral development banks worldwide.

We have an AAA rating from Standard and Poor's. By complying with internationally accepted banking standards, we have achieved bank status and are officially under Dutch Central Bank (DNB) supervision. Our reputation acts as a quality stamp, encouraging other investors to partner with us.

FMO is a public-private development bank. Both the Dutch State and large Dutch banks are major shareholders. Other smaller shareholders include employers’ associations, trade unions and individual investors.
