Salym is a microfinance institution that was created in 2007 by four local businessmen. The Company supports people living in rural and peri-urban areas (65% of the clients are rural residents) by offering different financial products, including housing loans 27%, consumer loans 9%, agricultural loans 19%, business loans 28%, and mortgages 17% (the percentages are outstanding as part of the GLP).
In 2012, the Company transformed from a Microcredit company to an Open Joint Stock Company. This means that that the company can trade securities (both bonds and shares) on the Kyrgyz stock exchange. Since 2019 the Company can attract deposits (today, ~40% of Salym's liabilities are related to deposits).
The majority (75%) are owned by the four founders, with 25% publicly listed shares. The Company hasn't attracted any institutional shareholders yet.
The institution has a loan portfolio of USD 25m and a balance sheet (total assets) of USD 33m. The institution has attracted many international lenders, including Blue Orchard, MicroVest, Triple Jump, ADA, Grameen Agri, and Envest.
Salym has 160 employees and 23 offices, 15,500 borrowers, and 1200 deposit holders
