The EBRD and Russian investment bank Troika Dialog have inked a deal that will provide Troika a loan of up to USD 150 million over the next five years. The loan, which is senior ranking and unsecured, will provide Troika with a stable and long term source of capital, thereby allowing the bank to continue developing its business in Russian Markets. The EBRD deal comes on the heals of Troika finding a strategic partner in Standard Bank this past March.
The loan increases the EBRD’s total involvement in the Russian banking sector to $500 million.
