The financing will address the liquidity needs of corporates, small businesses and municipalities in Serbia following the sharp slowdown of economic activity after the imposition of public health measures earlier in the year to prevent the spread of the virus.
As a consequence, many companies have experienced a decrease in turnover and profitability leading to payment delays and increased demand for liquidity, EBRD says.
According to the unicreditgroup.eu website of the Italian parent bank, UniCredit Bank Serbia is number four on the Serbian banking market and operates a network of 70 branches throughout the country. Its more than 900 employees serve more than 180,000 customers.
