The LoC will contribute to the financing of BRD’s pipeline which comprises enterprises in various transformational sectors including in agriculture, energy and manufacturing, affordable housing, with special emphasis on energy financing sectors. BRD aims to focus on high impact lending to the private sector while maintaining sustainable financial growth.
