[{"type":"text","content":"\n \n \n \n TBC Bank draws GEL 306 million facility from ADB\n \n \n \n TBC Bank Group PLC (\"TBC PLC\") announces that its subsidiary, JSC TBC Bank (\"TBC Bank\"), has drawn down a GEL 306 million facility signed with the Asian Development Bank (\"ADB\") in March 2022.

ADB has raised the local currency funds through a private placement of GEL-denominated bonds arranged by TBC Capital LLC, the brokerage subsidiary of the Group. \n \n \n \n Mr. Vakhtang Butskhrikidze, CEO, TBC Bank, commented:\n \n \n \n \"We are delighted to continue our successful partnership with ADB, TBC Bank's long-standing partner.
