Project Objectives
The project will contribute to the expansion of lending to private businesses through working capital lines and investment loans to SMEs, including enterprises operating in economically less-developed regions of the country. Furthermore, the transaction supports BIBs growth strategy and diversification of its funding sources. Finally, up to 10% of the loan proceeds are expected to be invested in line with the Green Economy Transition (GET) approach. |
