Bogd Bank Secures $15 Million to Empower Women Entrepreneurs and Green Businesses in Mongolia

Delphos, a global leader in securing financing for development projects, announced that its client, Bogd Bank, a leading Mongolian commercial bank, has closed a $15 million senior debt loan from the Asian Development Bank (ADB). This funding will support women-led micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) and finance green projects across Mongolia, advancing sustainable development goals.


Delphos specializes in impact-driven investments, partnering with clients to unlock funding that drives economic growth, social progress, and environmental sustainability worldwide. With a proven track record in facilitating development finance, Delphos has been instrumental in connecting Bogd Bank with crucial funding partners.


This latest financing arrangement will directly address the challenges faced by women-led MSMEs in Mongolia, who often struggle to access the financial resources needed to grow their businesses.

  • The funding will provide much-needed capital for women-led MSMEs.

  • A range of environmentally focused initiatives will receive support.

  • The initiative is expected to contribute to job creation and economic growth in Mongolia.


"We are proud to have facilitated another important financing arrangement for Bogd Bank," commented Bart Turtelboom, Delphos' CEO. "By empowering women-led MSMEs and supporting green initiatives, this partnership will have a lasting positive impact on Mongolia's economy and environment. We look forward to continuing our collaboration with Bogd Bank to drive sustainable regional growth."


This latest collaboration builds on a strong partnership between Delphos and Bogd Bank, dating back to 2021. In September 2022, Delphos arranged a $15 million senior debt facility from the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation (DFC) for Bogd Bank, also earmarked for on-lending to women-led SMEs and green projects.
