According to the EIB: "This loan will improve competitiveness and access to finance at favourable conditions for SMEs, mid-caps and other public and private entities with a special focus on climate action investments."

A state act in the GTA database is assessed solely in terms of the extent to which its implementation affects foreign commercial interests. On this metric, the investment support granted here is discriminatory.
