Bank of Georgia has received a €15mn (US$19mn) loan from the Green for Growth Fund Southeast Europe to help the bank finance energy-efficient construction projects in the Georgian capital Tbilisi.

The loan is the first extended in Georgia by the Green for Growth Fund, which was established in 2009 by the European Investment Bank and German development bank KfW Entwicklungsbank.
