Mood snapshot … before
“Banks are trying anything to get deals on their
books … undercutting to prices that look
absolutely ridiculous if you take an objective
view” • Banker quoted in Euroweek, 1st November 2013
“EM loans bankers fear that the latest match in
pricing is just a brief crossover point and that
prices in CEEMEA, especially Russia, have
much further to fall” • Euroweek, 1st November 2013
3
Mood snapshot … after
“Loans worth USD 8 billion being sought by
Russian companies from international banks are
in danger of falling through because of the crisis
in Ukraine” • Moscow Times, 6th March 2014
“Falling growth, not Ukraine fallout, is biggest
threat to CEEMEA [debt] supply” • Global Capital, 28th February 2014

Russian market – some observations
Russia syndicated loan volume: • 1% of global volume
USA syndicated loan volume: • 50% of global volume
Russia syndicated loan volume: • 2% of GDP
USA syndicated loan volume: • 13% of GDP
There is no Russian domestic loan market, and this needs to
develop before real depth and reach can grow
“If you look at the size of the Russian market, there really should
be 50 names borrowing through loans rather than the few there
are” • Ashu Khullar, Co-Head EMEA Loan Structuring and Syndications, Citibank
(Global Capital, 10th January 2014)

The EBRD co-financing rationale
Strong EBRD B loan portfolio performance
Total B loans committed = € 12.6 billion
Gross write-offs/total B loans committed • 0.32% cumulative
Net write-offs/total B loans (after recoveries/write-backs) • 0.28% cumulative
29
Key assumptions:
1. Commercial bank writes off the same percentage of its B loan as EBRD writes off on its A loan.
2. Currencies vary, and thus precise percentages may vary.
3. Information and data as of end-December 2013
Who will lend in the next decade?
The last decade was marked by feast and famine • 2002-2007: growing liquidity
• 2007-2013: crisis years
The challenge in the next decade will be to intermediate non-
traditional sources of capital
Banks have been logical providers of capital in the past, and will
continue to be – but the scale and manner will change • Banks have credit analysis skills and are best placed to book and monitor loans
• But banks are now becoming “originators to distribute” more than in the past
• Most non-traditional sources of capital do not (yet) have the resources for credit
analysis of typical sub-IG unrated loan assets
• Marrying the non-traditional sources with sub-IG unrated loans will be the key
challenge – the rewards for innovation in this space will be huge
