EBRD receives multiple binding offers for Giurgiulesti port

The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) has received multiple binding offers for the acquisition of Giurgiulesti International Free Port, Moldova’s main gateway to sea and river borne trade port to and from Moldova with integrated multi-modal connectivity through river, road, and rail networks.

Following a competitive process, the Bank is now progressing with advanced negotiations with the shortlisted bidders. The interest received from regional and international bidders reflects the Port's pivotal role in Moldova’s economy, handling over 70 per cent of the country’s waterborne import and export trade, securing supply chains for the country and significantly benefiting its economy.

The Bank is working closely with its advisors to ensure that the selected investor will bring the necessary expertise and long-term commitment to further develop the port’s infrastructure and operations. The ongoing M&A process is being conducted in coordination with the government of Moldova to ensure compliance with national legislation.
