    • [01] Piraeus Bank Romania in 50-mln-euro funding programme for SMEs

    (ANA-MPA) -- The European Investment Bank (EIB) on Tuesday announced a 50-million-euro loan agreement with Piraeus Bank Romania, aimed to fund SMEs in Romania, especially in the sectors of industry, services (including tourism), agriculture, health, energy, environmental protection and the knowledge-based economy.

    A bank statement said the loan will offer greater access and more attractive funding terms to small-&-medium-sized enterprises in Romania, while it will also contribute in dealing with the consequences of the current economic crisis.

    The EIB has simplified funding procedures and has set new standards in lending.

    Eligible companies will have to employ less than 250 employees, while municipalities could also participate in the funding programme.
