If you wish to up-date your production equipment — purchase quality imported machinery, production lines and equipment (capital goods), but for various reasons do not consider it expedient or possible to divert large sums of money from your business, Bank "Aval" can resolve this problem.
We are willing to offer you a loan for the purchase of equipment imported from Germany, the cost of which is at least EUR 250,000, in the form of a Letter of Credit (L/C) against foreign economic agreements, for a period of 2 — 5 years, within the framework of the "Bankgesellschaft Berlin" credit line programme.
You must make a pre-payment of just 15% of the value of the capital goods. Bank "Aval" then issues an irrevocable L/C to the German exporter for the remaining 85%. According to the "Bankgesellschaft Berlin" programme, the L/C will only be opened after the delivery and checking of documents confirming delivery to the Ukrainian importer.
Repayment is conducted at least every six months in equal installments.
The interest rate is estimated at 12% per annum and can change according to a decision by "Aval’s" Loan Committee, the specifics and maturity period of each individual project, as well as changes in the EURIBOR interest rates.
Financing within the framework of this programme is extended after:
Successfull completion of the loan procedure by the borrower;
Approval by "Aval’s" Loan Committee;
Agreement of "Hermes", the German National Export Insurance Agency, to insure risks against the foreign economic contract between the Ukrainian importer and his German counterpart.
