The European Investment Bank (EIB) has extended an 18 million euro loan to Software Group for helping financial service suppliers in Bulgaria digitize their activities and increase their effectivity.

The EIB has extended another loan – of 20 million euro – to Raiffeisen Leasing for investing in SMEs. Both loans are supported by the European Commission Investment Plan for Europe, popularly known as the Juncker plan, an infrastructure investment programme for creating jobs and ensuring growth. Last year, investments by the EIB group in Bulgaria reached 0.4 percent of the country’s GDP, which is above the EU average.
