The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development will provide a state-guaranteed loan to Bulgaria to the tune of EUR 300 million. The money will fill the reserve of the Bulgarian Deposit Insurance Fund. The loan is for a term of nine years. The EBRD provides a grace period of six years under that loan. Thus, the Bulgarian Deposit Insurance Fund will receive a greater financial independence and long-term sustainability. On March 18 the World Bank approved a loan worth EUR 300 million. It became clear that the money will be used for the improvement of the financial and the institutional capacity of the fund. This is the first project financed by the World Bank in Bulgaria since 2009. The loan is for a term of 10.5 years and the grace period is six years.
