Developmental and Regional Cooperation Impact:

The operation involves a loan for on-lending to small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) that is expected to have modest but favorable economic benefits for the Georgian economy. The most relevant of these are the additional tax revenue gains from increased economic activity resulting from the financing provided. In addition, the financing will help further enhance benefits such as increases in employment, increase in export capacity and competitiveness, and multiplier effects for other parts of the economy. The regional cooperation element is similarly modest but positive. Other BSTDB countries are important trade partners for Georgia, so to the extent benefiting SMEs engage in export activities, there will be regional cooperation benefits.

Environmental Classification and Impact (summary):

The Borrower has developed and implemented a comprehensive E&S management system consisting of the E&S Policy, E&S Risk Management Plan, E&S Exclusion List, as well as specific requirements to ensure compliance with EBRD standards towards Financial Intermediaries. The E&S management system is well integrated in portfolio management and is applied systematically to the credit cycle.
