Project Description
The project will leverage IFC’s expertise in risk management to improve Rawbank’s liquidity management framework in the wake of an improving regulatory landscape and align with global best practice.
Development Results
The objective of this project is to strengthen Rawbank’ s liquidity risk management practices by supporting the design of a functional Internal Liquidity Adequacy Assessment Process (ILAAP). This project sits at the intersection of two of IFC's most important strategic priorities in the DRC: financial inclusion and financial sector resilience. Weak liquidity governance may result in banks limiting their lending to MSMEs. Rawbank, the largest commercial bank in the DRC, is a key strategic partner of IFC for advancing financial inclusion by improving access to finance for MSMEs. Consequently, through this project, IFC is contributing to drive some key areas of its development agenda in DRC.
