So far, the EBRD has secured over 1.2 billion euros for more than 60
projects in Croatia, whose value is 3.42 billion euros. The projects
include 20 credit lines for small and medium-sized businesses,
house-building, local infrastructure, and tourism.
According to previous announcements from the EBRD, this financial
institution is planning to invest between 150 and 200 million euros
annually in Croatia.
The head of the EBRD delegation, Gerd Saupe, said the basic purpose of
the visit was to become acquainted with the progress Croatia had made
so far. He went on to say that the EBRD was willing to finance
infrastructure projects and advocate a more active role of the private
sector in the projects.
