Key Features:
ADB signed a long-term loan agreement with Credo Bank to support the launch
of housing finance products targeting low-income clients for home renovation
and construction in rural Georgia and the periphery of the capital.
Since 2014 Credo is owned by a consortium led by Access Microfinance
Housing AG. In 2016, ADB provided a $23m loan and technical assistance (TA)
to support Credo in its transformation from microfinance lender to a bank,
which materialized in March 2017. More than half of Credo's 230,000 strong
clientele are women, predominantly representing rural and farm households
that generate income from farming and business, including agritourism.
ADB's Value Addition:
Provide needed long-term funding for housing in Georgia, enable affordable
loans to lower-income segments and improve the livelihood of rural dwellers.
Support Credo's initiatives to serve lower-income homeowners, and thereby
help reduce rural poverty and improve living conditions in rural Georgia.
ADB will provide a TA to support Credo's efforts to extend reach to rural clients
in 1700 additional villages, benefiting an estimated 30,000 women clients via
branchless banking services and targeted financial literacy initiatives.
