SMEs will be able to apply for funds to invest in new equipment and upgrades that can help them boost their productivity, cut operational costs, increase energy efficiency and improve their alignment with EU standards, the EBRD said in a statement.
In addition to loans, SMEs will benefit from grant incentives worth up to 15% of the total loan amount, funded by the EU.
The loan is provided under the EBRD's SME Competitiveness Support Programme.
