It ensures the adequate liquidity level to cover lending activities and enables the Bank to honour its debt maturities and face unexpected events while generating net profits and continuously strengthening the CEB’s own funds.

FIN also maintains the CEB’s sustainable profitability by managing the Bank’s balance sheet and supporting the Loan & Social Development Directorate in negotiating loan prices with borrowers. It ensures the first line of defence of the CEB’s risk management by managing and controlling liquidity, interest rate and foreign exchange risks. Finally, it also guarantees the safe settlement of all cashflows.
