More than 40 percent of the loan amount was allocated to energy efficient housing projects, i.e. purchase of new energy efficient apartments, as well as individual house constructions and renovations.

Attracted financial means will be directed towards the development of micro, small and medium-sized businesses in Armenia.

The project allows for financing of various loan purposes, for example purchase of housing from primary and secondary markets, renovation, and single-family house construction.

This new office in Yerevan, Armenia aims to strengthen Symbiotics' long-standing presence in the region and further support its growth.

ACBA has committed to use the proceeds of the Sustainability Bond for both social and green projects, in line with the ICMA Sustainability Bond Principles.

The foundation has announced its disbursal of local-currency loans to Togo-based Assilassimé Solidarite in an amount approximately equivalent to $2.5 million and Agora Microfinance Zambia in an amount approximately equivalent to $1.2 million.

Microenterprises and SMEs will benefit from the Social loans to encourage employment creation and business activity in the country.

Even before the COVID-19 crisis, access to finance was the biggest obstacle for doing business in Armenia. Has it increased following the pandemic?

Symbiotics, the leading market access platform for impact investing, has arranged its first Sustainability Bond, that is also the first such bond in Armenia, by raising about $10,700,000 in local currency for ARMECONOMBANK OJSC.

The National Fund for Inclusive Finance is putting in place mechanisms to support its partnering microfinance institutions amidst the COVID-19 crisis.
