Project description
The EBRD currently has a five-year revolving corporate debt facility to Centerra Gold Inc of up to US$ 150 million (€ 115 million) to finance the Company’s capital expenditures and working capital as well as acquisitions in the Bank’s countries of operation. The facility was approved by the EBRD’s Board of Directors on 27 January 2016.
