Project Description
If provided by the financial institution, the Early Warning System Team writes a short summary describing the purported development objective of the project and project components. Review the complete project documentation for a detailed description.

The Eastern and Southern African Trade and Development Bank (TDB), previously PTA Bank, is a specialized African regional financial institution established in 1985 that provides short, medium and long-term financing across a wide set of sectors to both private and public-sector clients, on sustainable and commercial principles. FMO is funding the Framework Facility which is intended to be used to fund individual commercial transactions between Dutch exporters and local African importers. TDB Bank will on-lend the funds to the local importers. The rationale for establishing a Framework Agreement is that it provides FMO NL Business with the possibility to also execute smaller transactions in a cost effective and time efficient way as terms and documentation for the underlying Individual Transactions will be standardized upfront.
