BSTDB grants 20 million Euro leasing facility to Garanti BBVA Leasing

 

The financing will allow the company to honor the request of Romanian SMEs regarding the acquisition of equipment, machinery and vehicles. The new loan is the third agreement inked by Garanti BBVA Leasing and BSTDB, Garanti BBVA Leasing being a trustworthy partner of the bank since 2014.

 

"BSTDB is keeping its commitment in supporting the Romanian leasing market and we are delighted to continue our partnership with Garanti BBVA Leasing. This new financing highlights the role of leasing as a flexible alternative to financing SMEs, helping them to overcome the economic slowing down and helping them recover, during a moment where the implications of a loan are still serious because of the pandemic. Moreover, this financing is a strong testimony of the bank's role in supporting regional cross-border investments and we are proud to join forces with the Garanti group during these times of economic instability", Hasan Demirhan declared, the deputy chairman of BSTDB.

 

BSTDB estimates that the granted financing will reach over 200 companies, thus contributing to generating new jobs and to an increase in competitiveness and increasing the export capacity of the Romanian economy.
