EBRD Approves Loan Amendments for Ukrainian Railways Infrastructure
What happened
The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development and Ukrainian Railways approved amendments to the loan agreement for Ukrainian Railways. This allows EUR 130 million of the agreed EUR 180 million loan to be used for maintaining the company's liquidity and restoring infrastructure. Funds previously set aside for a distributed generation project can now be directed toward critical repairs and ensuring the transport of people and cargo.
