UzPSB Debt Project The proposed project with Joint-stock Commercial Bank Uzpromstroybank (UzPSB or the Bank) comprises a senior loan of up to US$75 million with a conversion option into ordinary shares of the Bank, and a trade finance line of up to US$20 million. The Bank is the oldest and second largest in Uzbekistan with a market share of approximately 15% by assets. UzPSB provides banking services and financing to core industrial corporates and their large investment projects in the petrochemical, biochemical, oil and gas, mining, energy, light industry, construction, engineering and transport sectors. It also services SMEs and provides a broad range of retail banking services.  The proposed project represents a part of the large upstream engagement between the Government of Uzbekistan and the World Bank Group. The engagement commenced in July 2019 from the extensive advisory support to UzPSB and aims at helping UzPSB in transformation of its corporate governance, risk management and operations in anticipation of the Banks eventual privatization.  UzPSB has established relations with multiple foreign export-import banks, development finance institutions, and commercial and investment banks. The Bank has international credit ratings of BB- by both S&P and Fitch. In November 2019, UzPSB issued the first corporate eurobond among the Uzbekistan-based companies. The 5-year bond of US$300 million is listed on the London Stock Exchange. -	Stakeholder Effect - Increased Access to Finance to SMEs and Climate Finance: As part of the privatization, UzPSB will significantly scale up its business with privately-owned enterprises, including financing of SMEs and climate finance project. The advisory support provided to the Bank will help create strategy, product offering, operational and risk frameworks for these segments, and dedicated funding will further support refinement of these business lines.
-	Market Creation Effect - Competitiveness: Through the broad IFC engagement, UzPSB is expected to position itself as an exemplary and leading universal bank in the country. Its impending privatization will pave the way for other local banks which are expected to adopt some of the best practices promoted by UzPSB. This will ultimately lead to the increase of the private sector share in the Uzbekistan financial services market.
Zarafshon Wind The project consists of the development, design, financing, construction, operation and maintenance of the 500MW Zarafshan wind power plant located in the Navoi region of Uzbekistan (the Project) under the terms of a 25-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with the JSC National Electric Grid of Uzbekistan (NEGU), the state-owned single buyer and offtaker. The Project would: (i) reduce CO2 emissions by displacing carbon intensive generation in the merit order of dispatch; (ii) deliver electricity output at a competitive tariff; (iii) contribute to improve competitiveness of the sector by supporting one of the first wind IPP projects and catalyzing private sector investments; and (iv) increase resilience of electricity supply by diversifying Uzbekistan energy mix.
Asaka Bank II The project''s principal purpose is to address the scarcity of term finance available in Uzbekistan, especially to the small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and Asaka has proven to be an efficient conduit bank with a strong pipeline of potential projects.    The project''s developmental impact will be considerable in terms of its economic impact, stimulus for business growth, employment generation, and confidence building in the banking sector:    The main developmental benefits will be at the enterprise level: they will come through business growth and the transfer of expertise and technology which will increase productivity.  In addition, SME development will foster entrepreneurship, develop much needed managerial/financial skills, and increase employment and contribute to higher standards of living.   The financial intermediation through the banking sector to SMEs will result in private sector development as well as institutional building for the financial sector.  This will alleviate the severe shortage of long-term foreign currency financing to private SMEs by availing these credit facilities to financial intermediaries.  By bringing additional resources into the banking system, the project will boost domestic investment and stimulate economic growth.    One of the major constraints for SME development in Uzbekistan is their limited access to financing.  IFCs role is to make available long-term hard currency financing to SMEs during this transitional phase of the Uzbek economy.  IFC''s strategy for Uzbekistan focuses on helping reduce poverty through accelerated growth and one of the key tools of this strategy is to provide "support to sectors such as SMEs which are particularly disadvantaged in the present economic environment in Uzbekistan  .  "         Through this second credit line to Asaka Bank, IFC will continue to play a strong role in making available this much-needed form of financial intermediation to SMEs in Uzbekistan.
MFP-BOP Hamkorbank The Project involves a 3-year senior loan of up to US$50 million with an option to be disbursed as a UZS-linked loan to Joint-Stock Commercial Bank with Foreign capital Hamkorbank (Hamkorbank, or the Bank), an IFC investment client since 2001, to support the Banks lending to micro and small enterprises (MSEs), including women-owned MSEs. The Project may also include a senior syndicated loan of up to US$30 million. Stakeholder effects - Improved access to finance for MSMEs, including WMSMEs. The Project will support Hamkorbank in expanding its reach to MSMEs, particularly to women owned MSMEs. Out of the total loan proceeds from this Project, 35 percent will be directed to women-owned MSMEs. 

Market creation - Inclusion. The Project will promote the inclusiveness of Uzbekistans financial market by showcasing a rigorous increase of the Banks engagement with the women segment. The success of this Project will demonstrate to banks in the country the viability of lending to WMSMEs, and help induce an increased competitive pressure, encouraging the replication of women-focused business models.

IP Senior Loan The proposed IFC investment in the Bank comprises a senior loan of up to US$35 million equivalent in Uzbek Soum for IFCs own account. The senior loan will have a conversion option at IFCs full discretion. The key development impact of the proposed project is increased access to finance for SMEs in Uzbekistan, thus contributing to economic growth, market resilience, and job creation in the country.
Hamkor Equity/SL The project is to provide a senior loan of up to $3 million to Hamorbank (or the Bank), a medium-size Uzbek commercial bank. The IFC loan would broaden the Banks funding base and would be used for expansion of its financing of micro and small entrepreneurs in Uzbekistan. As part of the project, IFC may also consider providing up to $2 million in equity/quasi-equity to support the Banks strategy and assist in its expansion. IFCs investment in Hamkorbank will have a strong developmental impact as it would support the strategy of a medium-sized independent private Uzbek bank.  By supplying funding to MSEs (micro and small enterprises), the project would support economic development of the region, increase employment in the country and contribute to development of best practices.  In addition the Project is expected to create a demonstration effect for other private banks in Uzbekistan, encouraging them to improve corporate governance and operational standards.  The Project would also foster competition in the Uzbek banking sector by providing micro and small entrepreneurs across the country greater access to banking products.
