The European Investment Bank (EIB) and the city of Kyiv have signed a €50 million loan agreement to finance the purchase of new metro coaches. This initiative aims to modernise Kyiv’s metro fleet and provide reliable transport for millions of the capital’s residents. The agreement was signed today at EIB headquarters in Luxembourg during a visit by a delegation from the Kyiv City State Administration.

Today at the Moldova Partnership Platform conference in Chișinău, the European Investment Bank (EIB Global) and the government of Moldova signed two agreements aiming to enhance the country’s economic and environmental resilience.
