International financial institutions, such as the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), KFW Development Bank and the European Investment Bank (EIB) will also be contributing to this major project in Armenia by financing the $200 million investment required over the coming four years.
“This success is exemplary: it is the result of a joint effort by Veolia’s teams who have managed to capitalize on the experience and professionalism of the Group’s employees in Erevan and to apply the best practices developed by a network of experts working in over 40 countries. The contract is confirmation of Veolia’s international expertise in managing and optimizing large public networks on behalf of local authorities. It is also an affirmation of the relevance of our development strategy in Central and Eastern Europe, and further strengthens our lead position in the field of drinking water production and distribution,” explains Malika Ghendouri, Vice President of Central and Eastern Europe for Veolia.
