EIB is providing a parallel loan to co-finance the Project.
After signing the loan agreement with EBRD for the “Restructuring of Moldovan Railways”, negotiations with EBRD on the co-financing contract were finalised in June, total budget amounting to EUR 105 million.
In July, the Moldovan Ministry of Finances announced that will partially guarantee the reimbursement of the EBRD loan to CFM for the procurement of locomotives and modernisation of the railway infrastructure.
