Project Description
Established in 1995, National Bank of Samoa (NBS) is a locally owned and operated commercial trading bank with four branches offering a full range of financial services. Its shareholders are largely domiciled in Samoa and comprise a combination of high net wealth individuals and prominent families. This project is designed to drive financial inclusion in Samoa (an IFC IDA country) by two mechanisms: by building NBS' gender financing capacity and risk management to effectively implement IFC’s SLGP to finance SMEs and WSMES. The project, therefore, is made up of two components: 1) gender finance advisory; 2) building NBS's credit risk and risk governance capacity.
