Sector focus

Sector focus

FMO specializes in providing the full range of financial services within three key sectors: financial institutions , energy and housing. These interlinked sectors lay the foundation for FMO's lasting development impact. We also take on projects in other sectors where we expect a similar impact, partnering with banks or institutions that have substantial knowledge of these areas and can provide the necessary expertise.

Financial and infrastructure sector projects are good for development and good for business: they often produce good development results, while simultaneously generating good returns for FMO. Projects in these sectors have knock-on benefits in terms of improving people's quality of life, creating jobs and providing the means for people to study and run businesses. For our clients, this sector-based structure delivers more specialized knowledge and greater efficiency. They know what they can expect from us, as our expertise relates directly to their business.

In 2010 we saw significant improvements in the quality of our portfolio. There were fewer provisions and late payments which resulted in a decrease of the net value adjustments.
