The project will support smart and sustainable growth in Romania. In particular, it will aim at achieving the objectives established in the operational programmes for competitiveness (COP), investment for growth and jobs' goal (IGJOP) and for selected priority axes of the large infrastructure operational programme (LIOP). The sub-projects to be financed would involve research and development (R&D), ICT and e-government, innovation and human development investment in key sectors, including support for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), education/training and social inclusion action, and employment promotion. The Bank's loan would also support some energy sector schemes, actions for air quality enhancement and rehabilitation of polluted sites.

All relevant key documents for the project will be published, in line with the Bank's disclosure policy.
