The International Islamic Trade and Finance Corporation (ITFC) will provide US$ 100 million to Uzbekistan in short-term loans for a period of two years, after a framework agreement was signed on Tuesday between the IITFC and the Committee for Investments, the committee said.
US$ 50 million per year will be allocated for pre-export financing, trade financing of basic raw materials and other goods.
The International Islamic Trade Finance Corporation is an autonomous entity within the Islamic Development Bank Group created with the purpose of advancing trade to improve the economic condition and livelihood of people across the Islamic world. ITFC has consolidated all the trade finance businesses that used to be handled by various windows within the IDB Group. It commenced operations in January 2008. The consolidation of the IDB Group’s trade finance activities under a single umbrella increased the Corporation’s efficiency in service delivery by enabling rapid response to customer needs in a market-driven business environment.
