Contibankaequity The project consists of  up to 20 million ten-year senior loan to NLB Continental Banka and possibly an equity investment representing a 10% stake (about 5 million) in NLB Continental Banka a.d.   (the bank  ).  The equity investment is subject to the approval of  NLBs Supervisory board. The purpose of IFC project is to   assist   the bank   in expanding its retail and consumer lending, in addition to enabling it to extend term financing for SMEs and mortgages, particularly within Novi Sad in the Vojvodina region, the second largest economic center in Serbia & Montenegro.   The bank   is the fifth largest commercial bank in Vojvodina (16th in Serbia, measured by total assets), serving over 150,000 customers, in retail and to corporate customers.  The   bank   has traditionally focused on corporates and industries involved in foreign trade, whilst its new strategy emphasizes retail banking, mainly in the Vojvodina region.  The relationship between IFC and   the bank   started in 2004 when the b  ank   took over three old IFCs senior loans from 1980s following the debt  restructuring  of the State of Serbia.  After the restructuring of Serbias Paris and London Clubs loans, the State became the majority shareholder of the bank with a 98.5% stake.  It was offered for sale in a privatization tender in early 2005, and the purchase was made by Nova Ljubljanska Banka (NLB d.d., Slovenia) in July 2005. As the government pursues its privatization policies in the industrial sector, the number of private sector companies, and SMEs in particular, is expected to grow.  The demand for SME finance is expected to be especially high in the Vojvodina region, a strong industrial and agricultural mainstay of Serbia & Montenegro.  NLB Continental Banka, a well known financial institution in this region, supported by NLB, a strong parent known in the area, is well poised to expand its retail and SME business, which is reflected in the banks need to obtain term funding.
MFBSerbia Loan 2 IFC proposes to provide to Microfinance Bank (MFB, Bank, Borrower), a commercial bank established as a closed joint stock company in Belgrade, Serbia and Montenegro, a Loan for IFCs own account of up to eight million euro (EUR 8,000,000) for on-lending by the Borrower to micro and small enterprises in Serbia.  The funds would be for the exclusive use of MFB to on-lend to Eligible Sub-Borrowers.
Drenik Serbia IFC is supporting Drenik ND d.o.o. (Drenik) in (i) developing the largest captive biomass power plant in Serbia to ensure stable energy supply for Dreniks plant in Serbia and to materially reduce its CO2 footprint; (ii) refinancing its existing debt; and (iii) financing its permanent working capital needs (the Project). The most significant Project-level development outcomes are environmental effects through improved resource efficiency and greenhouse gas emissions reduction as a result of the biomass power plant. Beyond these outcomes, IFC expects that the Project will promote competitiveness in the paper and pulp industry, by generating demonstration effects to other players, and incentivizing companies to adopt strategies to lower their costs of energy.
DCM Raiffeisen Serbia MREL The Project consists of an IFC investment for its own account, in Serbian Dinars (RSD) equivalent, in Minimum Requirement for Own Funds and Eligible Liabilities (MREL) debt instruments to be raised by Raiffeisen Banka a.d. Beograd (RBRS or the Bank). The proceeds will support the banks Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) portfolio with at least 60% of proceeds to be allocated to Women-owned MSMEs (W-MSMEs). The most significant, expected project-level outcome is increased access to finance for MSMEs, primarily be allocated to projects aimed at strengthening social responsibility (W-MSMEs). Beyond the project level outcomes, IFC anticipates that the Project will promote greater market integration by reactivating and deepening domestic capital markets in Serbia and enabling local corporate bond issuers to mobilize capital at scale from private investors, including from abroad. In addition, the Project, as part of a programmatic approach designed to promote issuance of MREL-eligible debt instruments by systemically important banks, is expected to improve the resilience of the banking sector in Serbia through the demonstration and replication channel.
Intesa Serbia SME SSL The proposed project is a financing package of up to EUR 120 million comprised of i) a straight senior loan of up to EUR 100 million to Banca Intesa A.D. Beograd (BIB or the Bank), and ii) a straight senior loan of up to EUR 20 million to BIBs subsidiary, Intesa Leasing d.o.o. Beograd (ILB or the Company). The loan to the Company will be fully guaranteed by the Bank.     BIB and ILB will use the proceeds from IFCs loans to expand their respective lending and leasing programs to eligible Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Serbia The Project will increase access to funding for SMEs in Serbia as the full financing package to BIB and ILB will be allocated to financing of small and medium SMEs with a turnover of up to EUR15 million, with a focus on providing long-term funding. In addition, we anticipate that the Project will foster increased competitiveness in the market and contribute to increasing the availability of financing for SMEs in Serbia. BIBs agenda for SMEs, focuses on providing more efficient access through tailored client portals, and improved transaction costs. As a result, in particular smaller SMEs will be able to broadly benefit from better access and more effective processing as the competitors will catch up with similar tools.
KBB Mortgage Komercijalna Banka ad Beograd (KBB or the Bank or the Company) is the largest locally owned bank in the Serbian banking sector, ranking the 2nd by total assets in the country. Operating since 1971, KBB is a universal bank offering a full range of banking services to its more than 750,000 clients in retail, corporate, SME, and municipal sectors.  The Project consists of a Senior Loan of EUR 50 million up to 7 years, including 2 years grace period, to support an existing client of IFC, a systemic bank in the Serbian banking sector, in its growth in housing finance for low income population. By supporting its portfolio client, IFC will bolster mortgage finance for low-income clients by providing more liquidity at the retail level for low income housing, besides helping bank to increase its market share in the mortgage sector. Access to mortgage finance will inherently boost the historically strong construction sector- one of the key catalysts of sustainable growth in the local economy.
ProCredit Serbia - Energy Efficiency ProCredit Bank Serbia (the Bank or PCB) was the first foreign bank to enter the Serbian market after the fall of the Milosevic regime.  It focuses on lending to micro- and small-enterprises.    The project consists of a EUR10 million energy efficiency senior term loan to the Bank. The facility would be dedicated to financing Energy Efficiency (EE) improvements. The development impact for this project is high.  It fosters:  - Energy Efficiency Improvement:   The project would support the launching of a new Energy Efficiency program with a commercial bank as an intermediary.  The EE program would focus on:   - EE improvements in MSEs;  and - the use of cleaner and renewable sources of energy (such as natural gas, solar energy) by MSEs.    - Improved Competitiveness:   Due to reduced energy costs as well as quality improvements as a result of technology and process upgrades, the project would contribute to improving the competitiveness of MSEs supported.  - MSE Lending:   It would provide long term funding to Serbian MSEs that constitute a significant engine of economic growth, while remaining underserved by the financial sector.   - Capacity Building:   It would strengthen the Banks balance sheet, improve its asset liability management and enable the Bank to expand its financial intermediation capacity.    Overall, the IFC/ProCredit EE program would result in conservation of energy and lower CO2 emissions, and have important social and economic implications by lowering monthly energy bills for MSEs.  Through the project, IFC would introduce a new highly developmental energy efficiency MSE product to the Serbian market. This would be the first product of this type offered by a bank in Serbia, and it would have strong replication potential.
EFGSerbia Project In the context of the Joint IFI Action Plan for Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), IFC is proposing to provide a senior loan to Eurobank EFG Beograd a.d.
