Bucharest, July 26 (SocialNews.XYZ) The World Bank Group's Board of Executive Directors has approved a development loan totalling 599.1 million euros ($650.5 million) for Romania to support its economic and environmental sustainability.
The loan is aimed at helping Romania promote fiscal consolidation and sustainability and increase pension system equity, said the bank group in a statement on Thursday.
The loan will also introduce incentives to decarbonize Romania's transport sector and support its first green bond issuance to boost public investment, Xinhua news agency reported.
