Developmental and Regional Cooperation Impact:

The Project is expected to have modest albeit favorable economic benefits for the Russian economy, the most relevant being the tax revenue gains from economic activity, increase in employment, increase in export capacity and competitiveness, and multiplier effects for other parts of the economy. The regional cooperation element is uncertain because it is not yet known who the end recipients will be of the proceeds of the Bank’s loan, and how they will use it. To the extent exports are promoted that go to other BSEC countries, there would be the benefit of enhanced trade linkages.

Environmental Classification and Impact (summary):

NBD Bank is a former Client of BSTDB and the experience gained under the previous SME lines in terms of environmental and social performance has been positive. The Borrower has instituted an environmental management system consistent with BSTDB requirements and which is considered commensurable with the risks and impacts associated with SME financing. The system has been integrated into the Client’s credit/investment appraisal and monitoring process and is fully functioning.
