    Promoter – Financial Intermediary

    COMPANIA NATIONALA DE ADMINISTRARE A INFRASTRUCTURII RUTIERE - SA

    Location

    Description

    Multi-year investment programme covering infrastructure road safety schemes on the national road network in Romania.

    Additionality and Impact

    The proposed project is expected to support investment in the rehabilitation of road infrastructure across Romania, with an emphasis on improving road safety, in addition to wider sustainability factors (social, environmental, economic). A proportion of measures is expected to be located in EIB cohesion priority regions; therefore, the project will also support economic and social cohesion. The operation supports transport investments in line with the National Strategy for Road Safety (2016-2020), Investment Plan for Transport Infrastructure 2021-2030, the General Transport Masterplan for Romania (2016) and Romania's National Recovery and Resilience Plan (2021). The project is expected to significantly address road safety and accessibility (improving road networks/coordination market failure) externalities. Alignment to EIB Climate Bank Roadmap is expected and will be further confirmed for all schemes allocated under the operation. The Project has benefited from advisory by the European Investment Advisory Hub which has also enabled the EIB financing. Further technical assistance is being set up to assist the Romanian Road Agency (CNAIR) in implementing the project. The EIB contribution will enable much awaited road safety investments by offering financing of longer tenor and competitive conditions that are not available in the Romanian market.  

    Objectives

    The proposed project is expected to support investment in new and rehabilitated road infrastructure across Romania, with an emphasis on improving road safety, in addition to wider sustainability factors (social, environmental, climate, economic). This is in line with the EIB Public Policy Goal for sustainable cities and regions. A proportion of measures is expected to be located in EIB cohesion priority regions; therefore, the project will also support economic and social cohesion. The project is expected to significantly address road safety and accessibility (improving road networks/coordination market failure) externalities.
