OPEC Fund for International Development extends $40 million loan to Kosovo
emirates7 - The OPEC Fund for International Development (OFID) is extending a US$40 million loan to Kosovo to support the 'Public Finances and Economic Growth Programme', according to a statement by the Fund.

The comprehensive plan will improve fiscal transparency, promote private sector development and enable environmental reforms in the energy and waste management sectors. It was developed with the World Bank, which is also providing EUR50.6 million (US$56.4 million equivalent) for its implementation.

OPEC Fund Director-General Dr. Abdulhamid Alkhalifa signed the loan agreement with Kosovo’s Minister of Finance, Labor and Transfers Hekuran Murati in Pristina yesterday.

"We are pleased to partner with the government of Kosovo and the World Bank to support this ambitious program addressing key development gaps and accelerating poverty reduction efforts. The new program will support the post-COVID-19 recovery, strengthen private sector development and promote the transition to a green economy in full alignment with Kosovo’s long-term development targets," Alkhalifa said.
