Our main products and services include:
Loans
Senior, subordinated, and convertible loans at fixed and variable rates and loans indexed to a commodity price. We also provide loans in some local currencies.

Our strong reputation in project appraisal and preferred creditor status allow us to syndicate medium-term loans from commercial banks.
