Project Description
The proposed project consists of a EUR 10 million residential mortgage loan facility to Privredna Banka Belgrade (PBB or the bank). Mortgage lending plays an important part in PBB’s strategy for retail lending, and the loan will support PBB’s lending growth in the sector.
Transition Impact
The EBRD loan will increase provision of long-term funding available to the bank, allowing PBB to grow its mortgage portfolio on a sustainable basis. PBB will consolidate its experience and know-how in this area through a technical assistance programme associated to the loan. By following EBRD’s List of Minimum Standards for mortgages, PBB is committed to applying best industry practice.
