What is our funding objective?
FMO will act as sole B-lender in a 5 year senior unsecured loan arranged by a well reputed multilateral development bank. The loan will include an option for IYB to opt for local currency disbursement. The B-loan from FMO is up to USD 10m and will be used to finance a combination of women, youth, rural agriculture Micro and SME customers of IYB. The B-loan will contribute for 100% to FMO's Reducing Inequalities target.
Why do we fund this investment?
Reducing inequalities is at the heart of FMO’s strategy. The FMO B-loan meets the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals supporting women and young MSME entrepreneurs with access to finance. Furthermore, this loan provides IYB with stable long term funding, which indirectly contributes to economic development in Uzbekistan.
What is the Environmental and Social categorization rationale?
Low risk, C-category. IYB has a well-functioning ESMS. No exposure to IFC PS triggered transactions, no exclusion list exposure, limited high risk E&S exposure, no project finance and an overall low average loan size.
