The Vice-President of the European Investment Bank (EIB) has signed an agreement on the allocation of the Georgia's second half of the concessional loan for a total of half a billion euros for the project aimed to improve the country's motorways. Another 3.5 million euros were allocated for the completion of the reconstruction of the Inguri hydroelectric power plant (HPP) and the Vardnili HPP.
