Brussels, 10/01/2013 (Agence Europe) - The European Investment Bank (EIB) said on Thursday 10 January that it is giving a global loan of €150 million to PKO BP for financing small and medium-scale projects primarily in Poland's public sector. The supported projects will be mostly in the field of environmental protection, energy savings, health and education infrastructure, industry and services in Poland. This is already the third global loan with the PKO group, which brings the total amount of EIB loans administered by its intermediary to €466 million. The final beneficiaries of the EIB support are mainly local authorities and regions. At the end of 2012, 15 intermediaries (including five leasing companies) active in the public and private sector were tasked with allocating the EIB loans in Poland. (LC/transl.fl)
