Trade Finance
Our investment
CDC entered into a $75 million shared risk facility with the Eastern and Southern African Trade and Development Bank. CDC’s investment will enable TBD to increase trade flows by up to $420 million over the next three years in the markets in which it operates. Somalia, Sudan, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe.
Expected impact
CDC's investment will enable TDB to increase its infrastructure support throughout the region and provide longer-term funding to businesses and projects. This includes providing finance to support vital trade and infrastructure projects – from hydro-electric power in Uganda to telecomms in Zanzibar. TDB will also provide technical assistance and advice to clients setting up trade-related projects, particularly to support regional and cross-border trade.
Environmental and social aspects
CDC has worked closely with TDB to develop the bank's Environmental and Social Management System and environmental and social checklists.
