Project Description
The EBRD is considering a mortgage loan of up to €10 million to UniCredit Bank Serbia JSC for on-lending to private individuals in Serbia. The proceeds of the loan will be used by UniCredit Bank Serbia to provide long-term financing for residential mortgages in Serbia.
Transition Impact
The Mortgage Loan will contribute to the transition process by maintaining an essential flow of lending to private individuals at a time when the availability of credit, particularly on very long terms, has been constrained. Transition impact potential also derives from the demonstration effect associated with the improvement of competitiveness, transparency for final mortgage sub-borrowers and raising standards of residential mortgage lending.
