Delivering for investors 

We provide diversified access to high-growth markets

Southeast Europe and the Caucasus combine high-growth dynamics with EU integration momentum.

But local capital markets are underdeveloped and do not offer opportunities for diversified exposure.

We give you diversified access via the region's secure banking sector with first- and second-loss protection.  

Finance in Motion - Apples

Delivering for local markets

We finance growing MSMEs through local financial institutions

These businesses are critical to their economies – growth, jobs and living standards rely on their success.

But they struggle to obtain financing, which stops them from scaling, innovating and transforming their operations.

Through local financial institutions, we provide the financing, advice and capacity building they need to be competitive, sustainable and socially inclusive.
