According to the Bank’s website, the project consists of a Portfolio Risk Sharing ("PRS") in the form of an unfunded portfolio guarantee of up to EUR 12.5 million provided by the Bank in favour of Raiffeisen Bank Kosovo ("RBKO"). The guarantee will cover up to 50% of the credit risk on a pro rata basis on the newly-generated MSME loan portfolio of up to EUR 25mln originated by RBKO.
This project is the first pilot implementation of the PRS product by the EBRD in Kosovo. The product aims to release a bank's risk-taking capacity to boost on-lending to MSMEs, addressing an MSME financing gap in the market.

ACCOUNTABILITY MECHANISM OF EBRD
The Project Complaint Mechanism (PCM) is the independent complaint mechanism and fact-finding body for people who have been or are likely to be adversely affected by an European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD)-financed project. If you submit a complaint to the PCM, it may assess compliance with EBRD's own policies and procedures to prevent harm to the environment or communities or it may assist you in resolving the problem that led to the complaint through a dialogue with those implementing the project. Additionally, the PCM has the authority to recommend a project be suspended in the event that harm is imminent.
You can contact the PCM at: pcm@ebrd.com or you can submit a complaint online using an online form at: http://www.ebrd.com/eform/pcm/complaint_form?language=en
