“In 2013, the SME and microfinance specialist again easily outperformed its rivals, posting an industry-best net profit of $34.7 million – up 72% on 2012 – and an equally unbeatable return on equity of 28.8%. Growth was also stellar, with total assets increasing by 53.3% to pass the $1 billion mark. … The Bank has continued to pursue alternative funding sources, issuing its first local currency AZN-denominated bond in December and raising $60 million in the largest-ever syndicated loan from an Azerbaijani private-sector financial institution in March”.

Foreign Currency Lending – Risk Mitigants
Central Bank pursues policy of stable exchange rate of local AZN vs USD (crawling peg)
High foreign trade surplus triggers steadily increasing currency reserves
High currency reserves represent strong buffer against potential turbulences on currency market and protect AZN from devaluation in the short to medium term
Bank provides USD denominated loans mostly to SME’s – high average DSCR of around 3x in SME lending represents a strong risk mitigant in case of devaluation
Low level of foreign investment in Azerbaijan protects from volatilities on international capital markets
About half of AccessBank’s loans are denominated in USD
