The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) is providing a senior unsecured loan of up to \u20ac10 million to Kosovo\u2019s Banka p\u00ebr Biznes (BpB) to support micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) across the country.<\/p>\n
The project aims to promote entrepreneurship and enhance market competitiveness by increasing access to finance for privately owned MSMEs, which form the backbone of Kosovo\u2019s economy.<\/p>\n
In line with the EBRD\u2019s Green Economy Transition (GET) approach, BpB has committed to allocate half of the loan proceeds to GET-eligible investments, upscaling green finance and supporting sustainable growth in the country.<\/p>\n
The financing agreement was signed by the EBRD\u2019s Vice President for Banking, Matteo Patrone, and BpB\u2019s CEO, Mimoza Godanci-Aliu, during a visit by Mr Patrone to Kosovo.<\/p>\n
Mr Patrone said: \u201cWe are pleased to deepen our partnership with Banka p\u00ebr Biznes through this new financing package, which will expand access to finance for small businesses across Kosovo. By allocating half of the loan to green investments, we are helping local enterprises embrace sustainability and build resilience, in line with our strategic priorities for Kosovo\u2019s long-term development.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mrs Godanci-Aliu said: \u201cThis project with the EBRD reinforces BpB\u2019s strategic commitment to strengthening Kosovo\u2019s MSMEs and advancing the green economy transition. By providing support to help local businesses grow more competitively and sustainably, we are contributing to the broader development of Kosovo\u2019s economy.\u201d<\/p>\n
This new project is fully aligned with the EBRD\u2019s strategic priorities in Kosovo, where the Bank remains committed to strengthening the private sector and supporting the country\u2019s transition to a green economy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
