EIB and EIAH support HBOR in providing advisory services for the public sector.

• With funding from the European Investment Advisory Hub (Advisory Hub) under the Investment Plan for Europe, HBOR will support investment projects in priority climate and social infrastructure sectors.
• HBOR will support a wide range of projects promoted by Local and Regional Self-Government Units (LRGUs), focusing particularly on underdeveloped regions, to boost the quality and volumes of public sector investments in Croatia.
• The EIB's support builds on the outcomes of previous advisory work undertaken jointly with HBOR under the Advisory Hub mandate of the Commission.

The European Investment Bank (EIB) and the Croatian Bank for Reconstruction and Development (HBOR) signed today an agreement to support HBOR in setting up its own advisory services and enhance its capacity to support investments in key sectors of the Croatian economy, such as environment, resource efficiency, circular economy, smart cities, and social infrastructure.

Thanks to the funding support of the Advisory Hub under the Investment Plan for Europe, HBOR will build its capacity to deliver technical assistance and advisory services to increase investment activity in priority sectors of the Croatian economy. HBOR will identify a pipeline of projects in need of advisory support and help Croatia`s LRGUs to prepare and implement pilot projects, stimulating investments and growth in underdeveloped areas.
