('CCH' or 'the Company')
CCH enters into a Sharia compliant US$20,000,000 Morabaha facility with
Globexbank
CCH International plc, the trade finance group, is pleased to announce an
agreement between its wholly owned subsidiary CCH Europe GmbH and Globexbank,
Moscow to provide a US$20,000,000 Sharia compliant Morabaha facility; a facility
typically utilised in the supply and sale of goods at an agreed price, plus a
profit mark up. The repayment of the Morabaha facility is guaranteed by
Globexbank. The first two payments totalling US$15,000,000 have already been
funded with the last payment to be made during August / September 2006.
In structuring this transaction, CCH Europe GmbH, acting as the agent for a
Middle Eastern based Islamic bank, has issued the amount of the Morabaha
facility and is the beneficiary under a Standby Letter of Credit issued by
Globexbank.
Eren Nil, Managing Director of CCH International plc commented: 'This is the
first Morabaha facility extended to a Russian institution by an Islamic bank.
Islamic financial institutions have virtually no exposure to Russian risk and
therefore the market is of great interest to CCH. Given the size of the Russian
market and its need for liquidity, we are confident of arranging further Sharia
compliant transactions for Russian institutions in the future.'
