invest about $60-80 million in the country's economy, head of EBRD

Valeriu Razlog attributed 93% of bank's creditors to the private
sector; with EBRD strategy for the years to come to be aimed at lending
in national currency, thus enabling the clients to avoid further risks.

to receive funds in national currency," he said, adding that lending
in the national currency remains rather expensive.
