In the presence of the Ambassador of France, Ms. Elisabeth Barsacq, an agreement for the financing of Albanian SMEs worth 5 million euros was signed between Proparco and NOA. It is the first time that Proparco supports Albania with such a financing. Targeting small enterprises and family businesses, the financing will be injected to the local economy through the intermediary role of NOA, a financial institution operating in Albania since 1998.
