Project description
and objectives:
|
Proposed term loan and equity-linked option for Russian Standard Bank, the first Russian commercial bank specialising in consumer financing.
The EBRD proposes to provide term financing to RSB to facilitate development of its consumer loans portfolio. The loan will diversify RSB’s funding and leverage its strong capital base.
Equity financing will strengthen RSB’s capital base in the future and support further development, including regional expansion, of RSB’s assets and consumer financing operations.
|
Transition impact:
|
The project will have a significant transitional impact as it will support development of the (1) transparent privately-owned commercial bank with dynamic and innovative management, (2) young and fast growing business with intelligent strategy supported by the international expertise and (3) competition and proper operational practices in the consumer financing market segment, which is new to Russia.
