The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) is pledging new funds to support inclusive lending to the smallest customers in remote areas of Tajikistan. It is providing a financial package of US$ 4 million (€3.7 million) to one of the country’s leading microlenders, MDO HUMO.

HUMO, the winner of this year’s EBRD Sustainability Silver Award, will receive up to US$ 2 million under the EBRD’s Youth in Business programme in Central Asia, which is designed to provide better access to finance and relevant training to young entrepreneurs in the region.

A loan of up to US$ 1 million, under the EBRD’s Women in Business (WiB) programme for Central Asia, will help promote women’s entrepreneurship and business activity.

The third component of the package, a loan of up to US$ 1 million, will stimulate the development of micro, small and medium-sized enterprises in Tajikistan.

To date, the EBRD has invested €947 million through 168 projects in Tajikistan.
