Trans-Oil Group - USD 7.5 mln loan

Russia’s war on Ukraine led most commercial banks to reduce their WC funding to the region, resulting in a financing gap. The combination of DFIs (FMO/Proparco in this case for 2.5 years) and of public funds (BP/DFCD for 5 years) plays a crucial and additional role in the market. The new financing brings comfort to the existing as well as potential lenders of TOI and will encourage further origination of food commodities from Ukraine.
