Porr’s projects in the region are worth a total of EUR 70 million. The remainder will be covered by loans from banks in the countries where Porr will build projects. The Austrian company will work on several small real estate projects and build waste management units in several SEE countries in the next two years. The IFC’s board will come to a decision regarding the loan in March.
