SERBIA. The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) granted a credit line of up to €20 million to Banca Intesa Beograd on Thursday 29 October 2020. This envelope is dedicated to supporting, through loans, companies and municipalities to help them contain the negative economic consequences of the coronavirus pandemic. In particular, to meet their liquidity needs in the face of the decline in their activities and turnover as the pandemic progresses.
