Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- The National Bank for Foreign Economic Affairs of the Republic of Uzbekistan (NBU), together with the leading Swiss bank Credit Suisse AG, successfully held a road show for institutional investors by presenting an information memorandum on activities and achievements of the National Bank.

As a result of the roadshow, the NBU signed a loan agreement, in which Credit Suisse AG acts as a financial agent and main lender, to attract a syndicated credit line in the amount of 100 million euros from a consortium of foreign banks - Credit Suisse AG, AKA Bank and KfW.

The credit line is attracted for up to 5 years without a state guarantee, without country content, on attractive financing terms in the amount of 100 million euros.
