On Friday, September 19, the launch of the new Refugee Response Window for Armenia under the EU4Business-EBRD Credit Line Armenia took place. Since 2021, our team has been coordinating the implementation of technical assistance of the EU4Business-EBRD Credit Line locally.
The EU4Business-EBRD Credit Line is a joint initiative of the EU and EBRD that helps Armenian SMEs finance investment projects and strengthen their competitiveness and export potential. With this new window, the programme is expanding its scope to deliver a more inclusive and impactful approach — supporting both refugee-owned businesses and local companies employing refugees.
The program provides financing, advisory support, and incentive grants of up to 35% of the loan amount.
Under the refugee support initiative, approximately €44 million in financing and more than €10 million in grants will be made available to local businesses to reduce investment costs and create new opportunities.
