Financial Institutions Finance

Overview

Leveraging on the Group’s credit expertise and track record of lending to businesses for more than a decade, EFA is also plugging the funding gap faced by financial institutions (FIs) in developing economies. Strong GDP growth in Developing Asia is fuelling a credit demand that outpaces the funding growth. Shallow local capital markets, limited access to international markets and low empirical default rates for FIs make for an investment opportunity that provides a unique exposure to the region.
