“We will also provide direct financing to private companies and will consider also projects designed to improve the municipal sector,” he said, adding that the Bank may financee other sectors of the economy as well.

Mr. Razlog also stressed that the Bank is satisfied with the effective use of provided resources. He added that EBRD is willing to not only maintain but to increase the high level of participation in the financing of the Armenian economy.

Since its inception in Armenia in 1992 EBRD has invested a total of 470 million euros in Armenian economy, of which about 92% went to private sector. -0-
