The European Investment Bank (EIB) is providing a credit line of 30m (£22.9m) to Slovakian lessor VÚB Leasing to finance projects implemented by SMEs and Mid-Caps.

The EIB said the financing can be set up as a financial or operating lease as well as a loan.
This operation is the second direct credit line between the two institutions, which have already established a long-term relationship through the parent company of VÚB Leasing, Veobecná úverová banka. A previous loan of 50m has been successfully allocated to support undertakings in Slovakia’s SME and Mid-Cap sector.
