The proposed project envisages extension of term financing to Bank Kedr, one of the leading private banks in Siberia, to support the bank’s expanding SME lending programme in Siberia and other regions via its extensive regional network of more than 40 outlets and branches. The project will promote financial intermediation in Russia by enhancing the ability of a private bank to compete on the basis of its strong local brand, quality of service and speed of decision-making in its market niche.
