Bucharest, July 24, 2017 – Garanti Consumer Finance, part of the financial group Garanti Romania, one of the most dynamic ones on the local market, has signed a loan agreement of EUR 7 million with the Black Sea Trade and Development Bank (BSTDB).

The loan facility will be used to finance energy efficiency, renewable energy and water-saving solutions in the residential sector.

“Energy efficiency reduces energy costs and leads to financial savings for customers. It is our mission to support and stand by our clients, while creating added value to their lives. Therefore, the partnership with BSTDB represents an important endeavor. Garanti Consumer Finance, as all Garanti institutions, is a supporter of ambitious projects. We have a strong commitment here and signing this agreement further confirms our long-term strategy”, stated Bogdan Dobre, General Manager, Garanti Consumer Finance.

„Improving energy efficiency is a key element of a modern energy policy. We are happy to partner with Garanti Consumer Finance to help cut the CO2 emissions, improve energy performance and quality of life of Romanian households and contribute to national energy and environmental goals. Savings in energy consumption and reduced losses will greatly benefit the Romanian economy and consumers”, said Dmitry Pankin, BSTDB President.
