What is our funding objective?
FMO's USD 20mln will be used for a USD 40mln facility equally split between OFID and FMO. The funds will support Sathapana in its growth ambition and their focus on MSMEs and the digitization plans. The funds will also improve its stable funding and interest rate profile.
Why do we fund this investment?
With this transaction FMO supports a long-standing, well-performing client to reach out to the MSME sector in Cambodia. Cambodia, with a GDP per capita of USD 1,379, is still on the UN Least Developed Countries list and this transaction is reduced inequalities (SDG 10). The proposed transaction is in line with FI Cambodia strategy to steer from the microfinance sector towards the banking sector. In addition, we will catalyze funds in an efficient transaction with OFID and Actiam.
What is the Environmental and Social categorization rationale?
Sathapana Bank is a E&S category C because the focus of the portfolio is on retail and MSME, the average loan size at this moment is < USD 10,000 and not to high-risk sectors. Sathapana adheres to FMOs exclusion list and national law.
