On September 14, 2017, Golomt Bank signed an eight-year credit agreement with WorldBusiness Capital Inc. (WBC) under guarantee from the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation (DFC) as part of its commitment to developing SME businesses in Mongolia. After successfully fulfilling WBC’s requirements, Golomt Bank completed a second loan agreement with WBC for a four-year term on June 30, 2021. We are delighted that WBC and DFC have bestowed trust in Golomt bank and continued to support our clients during the COVID-19 pandemic.
With this long-term facility, Golomt bank is supporting its SME clients and growing corporates that fall into the international definition of SMEs. The loan facility is primarily oriented toward promoting SMEs operating in the agribusiness sector and environmentally friendly projects.
This agreement is a milestone for Golomt Bank expanding its U.S. partnerships and aligning its goal with the mandate of international institutions like DFC and WBC to support business growth, job creation, and overall development of the emerging market through long-term financing solutions.
