EIB to double its loan for Poland

16.04.2009

Poland can receive more than 5 billion euro in investments from the European Investment Bank  (EIB) in 2009 – said EIB deputy chairwoman Marta Gajęcka. According to Mrs. Gajęcka, the allocated amount will double the bank’s total investment loans for 2008.

The European Investment Bank supports infrastructure projects within the scope of energy and the protection of the environment offering loans to small and medium enterprises.

Explaining the EBI decision Gajęcka stressed that Poland is a leader in the region as far as the cooperation with bank is concerned. Last year the loans granted to this country amounted to 2.85 billion USD. (di)
