FMO, the Dutch entrepreneurial development bank, has placed GEL 30 million bonds with TBC Capital acting as a sole Lead Manager. MKD Law was engaged as a legal counsel on the transaction.

The placement was fully purchased by Terabank. The Bank will be able to borrow 95% of the nominal amount of the bonds for refinancing rate from National Bank of Georgia against pledging the mentioned bonds.

The transaction is a good example of cooperation between TBC Capital and the issuer, which is another step forward for a future, successful partnership with both local and international financial institutions. Moreover, the transaction is important for Terabank as it has attracted additional GEL financing from an international financial organization which can be used to increase access to GEL funding for Georgian borrowers”, - said Mary Chachanidze, Managing Director of TBC Capital.
