YEREVAN, June 25. /ARKA/. The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) said today it is providing a US$ 20 million loan to ACBA-CREDIT AGRICOLE BANK for on-lending to private companies in Armenia that have been affected by the economic impact of the coronavirus pandemic.

The EBRD remains an important partner in Armenia during the Covid-19 crisis and the new financing is part of the efforts to help combat the impact of the coronavirus and support the recovery.
