NMB Bank Limited has obtained a repeat loan of USD 25 million from the International Finance Corporation (IFC), a member of the World Bank Group. With this agreement, NMB becomes the only Bank in Nepal to sign three debt investment deals with IFC, which are worth $65 million in total and that too within a span of four years.  

The signing of the MOU took place today, that is, the 11th of August, 2022 between Mr Sunil KC the Chief Executive Officer of NMB Bank Limited and Mr Hector Gomez Ang, Regional Director South Asia, International Finance Corporation (IFC). 

In 2020, the international organization stated that “SMEs have been a key engine of growth in Nepal, contributing 20% of GDP and creating over 60% of jobs in the country. The project is expected to see a doubling in the number of loans available for SMEs from the bank, creating more jobs in the economy.”

It has been highlighted that even this year the funding will once again be used to aid in fostering market competitiveness while quickening the economy’s recovery from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

In 2021, the bank received the “Green Deal of the Year” Award at the 2021 ABF Corporate and Investment Banking Award for its groundbreaking loan agreement with the International Finance Corporation (IFC), under which it would offer credit facilities to projects that meet the eligibility requirements of the organization for green financing, the bank has been acknowledged as Nepal’s leading proponent of green financing.
