One of the most significant projects the financial institution is currently supporting is restructuring state-owned railway administrator CFR, Ponta added.
EBRD has granted a EUR175 million loan to CFR, helping the company pay its current debts.
According to the prime minister, the only real chance to restructure and modernize CFR is using the bank’s financing and expertise.
Chakrabarti said EBRD’s financing to Romania might reach EUR500 million this year.
So far, the bank has invested about EUR6 billion locally, in over 300 projects.
