LUXEMBOURG (ITALPRESS) – “As an international financial institution, covering both EU member state and candidate country markets, we are in full agreement with the European Investment Bank’s goal of continuing to support continental economies and growth.” This was stated by Paola Papanicolaou, head of Intesa Sanpaolo’s International Subsidiary Banks Division, speaking at the EIB Group Forum in Luxembourg.
“Over the past five years, together with the EIB, we have signed agreements worth more than 655 million euros, benefiting the territories of Central and Eastern Europe and North Africa,” he continued. “The funds have been put at the service of resilient climate-friendly growth, innovation, employment and business productivity.
“Being part of Intesa Sanpaolo, a leading banking group in Europe and a leader in the Italian market, puts us in the position of being a natural bridge between Italy, the continent’s second-largest manufacturing country, and all the other areas in which we are active,” Papanicolaou stressed. “Intesa Sanpaolo’s International Banking Division covers 12 countries, serving 7.4 million customers with more than 46 billion euros in customer loans.
