THE Export-Import Bank of China, one of the country's three policy lenders, and Bulgarian First Investment Bank plan to finance projects together, FIBank said yesterday.
FIBank, the sixth-biggest bank in the European Union country, said it would become an agent of Exim Bank in Bulgaria under a signed partnership deal, the first of its kind between a Bulgarian and a Chinese bank.
"The two banks will support their operations and will fund together projects of mutual interest in Bulgaria, China and other countries," FIBank said in a statement.
The bank, one of the few in the Balkan country which is not a unit of a foreign lender, did not provide details. More than 85 percent of the 29 banks operating in Bulgaria are foreign owned, mainly by EU-based lenders.
Exim Bank, which has total assets of 59 billion euros (US$87.7 billion), is one of the key tools of the world's third-largest economy to finance imports and exports of Chinese machinery and equipment, FIBank said. Bulgaria hopes fresh capital inflows from Asia could spur growth.
