This will be the Bank’s second loan to RVK, following a RUB 1.5 billion first loan signed in 2008. The project will continue to demonstrate development and implementation of a PPP model as a way of bringing private sector managerial and operational expertise and investments in the water and wastewater sector in Russia. Rosvodokanal Group will be the borrower of funds. Up to RUB 1.5 billion loan facility to RVK expected to be co-financed by another RUB 1.5 billion parallel loan from a domestic financial institution.
