The funding will allow TBC Bank to finance long-term investments by Georgian SMEs in enhancing their products and services and, as a result, improve their competitiveness in local and international markets.
In addition, the facility is complemented with EU grants and free technical assistance.
Vakhtang Butskhrikidze, CEO, TBC Bank, commented: “The EU4Business-EBRD credit line has great importance for our country’s economy, as it enables local businesses to benefit from the opportunities offered by the Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Area (“DCFTA”) between Georgia and the EU.
“In addition, by providing local currency funding, the EBRD helps to reduce our dependence on borrowing in foreign currencies, thus protecting business owners from direct exposure to exchange rate risk.”
TBC Bank shares have gained 4.11%, climbing to 1672p on Thursday.
