The European Investment Bank (EIB) is providing Bulgaria-based Postbank with a €75 million guarantee to expand financing for middle-sized companies in the country and strengthen the domestic economy. Postbank, part of the Eurobank Group, will use the EIB backing to unlock as much as €150 million in loans for Bulgarian businesses.
Almost eight in 10 Bulgarian companies – 79% – have acted to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases, according to a European Investment Bank (EIB) Group survey. Bulgarian businesses also are more likely than firms elsewhere in the European Union to have women in senior positions or as company owners, new country results from the EIB Group Investment Survey (EIBIS) show.
The European Investment Bank (EIB) is lending Bulgaria €250 million to co-finance EU-backed projects and accelerate development in areas ranging from energy efficiency and water to transport and research. The loan is for projects that will strengthen the Bulgarian economy, bolster competitiveness and enhance the country’s quality of life.
