Developmental and Regional Cooperation Impact:

Working with Europlan under the SME leasing facility will achive the BSTDB operational objectives. Due to the company's strong market presence and aggressive expansion strategy, BSTDB will be able to reach multiple Russian SMEs and deliver the much needed medium term financing for capital expenditures to the market. The leasing facility will complement the Trade Finance and SME products offered by the Bank in Russia. Moreover, BSTDB will support one of the leading and reputable leasing companies in Russia at the time when the company has already proven its ability to perform and yet needs additional funding and further development. Given the early stage of Russian leasing market development, the BSTDB's facility would have an important demonstration effect, improving the leasing companies’ ability to borrow from the international markets. This way the Bank will promote the institutional building of the leasing sector in Russia.

Environmental Classification and Impact (summary):

Europlan's environmental performance has proved to be satisfactory to BSTDB and also to domestic legal requirements. Europlan is required to follow the BSTDB and the Russian Federation standards and norms with respect to environmental protection and human health and safety.
