Project Description

The EBRD is making investments worth a total of EUR 432.4 million to UniCredit subsidiaries across eight eastern European countries, as part of a joint effort to tackle the impact of the global economic crisis on the region. The aim is to provide medium and long-term debt financing through Unicredit subsidiaries in support of SMEs, lease finance and energy efficiency projects.

The EBRD investments are part of the joint pledge by the EBRD, the World Bank Group and the European Investment Bank (EIB) to provide over EUR 24 billion in support of the banking sectors in the region and to fund lending to businesses hit by the global crisis.

Transition Impact

The EUR 432.4 million investments consist of debt and Tier 2 capital for UniCredit subsidiaries in support of SMEs, lease finance and energy efficiency projects across eight countries.

The SME credit lines will contribute to the transition process by supporting the constrained SME market and maintaining an essential flow of lending to this group of enterprises.

The Energy Efficiency credit line will generate transition impact by demonstrating the benefits of energy conservation and promoting the expansion of energy efficiency lending.

The Tier 2 capital (to Ukrsotsbank) will strengthen its capital base, while at the same time sustaining lending to enterprises in the country.

The Client

Eleven UniCredit Group subsidiaries in eight countries of EBRD’s region. UniCredit is the largest banking group in the central and eastern European region, with over 4,000 branches in 19 countries. The group has invested around EUR 10 billion of equity in central and eastern Europe and has around EUR 85 billion of total customers’ loans in the region.
