Who is our customer
With total assets of USD 3.1 billion (Dec 2012), Banco BHD is the second largest privately owned financial institution in the Dominican Republic. The bank has a market participation of 13% (based on TA, Dec 2012), a network of 90 branches and 2,800 employees. BHD is a subsidiary with 98% ownership by Centro Financiero BHD, which in turn is owned by local Grupo BHD (51%), Banco Sabadell of Spain (20%), Popular Inc of Puerto Rico (20%) and IFC (9%). Two-thirds of the corporate loan portfolio of BHD is made up of small and medium enterprises (SMEs).
What is our funding objective?
FMO is funding Banco BHD with a 5-year USD 10 million senior loan and an 8-year USD 15 million subordinated loan. The USD 10 mln senior loan will be used by BHD to provide financing to SMEs. The USD 15 mln subordinated loan will be used by BHD to strengthen its capital base.
Why do we fund this investment?
FMO’s long-term funding will enable BHD to grow and expand its services to a relatively underserved SME market in the Dominican Republic, thereby providing access to financing that will ultimately go towards stimulating economic growth.
