Railway infrastructure could be one of the areas in which a major European multilateral lender could cooperate with Türkiye, its senior official said, according to a transcript of an interview released on Thursday.
"Railway infrastructure could be one of the areas where we can contribute in the future," said Robert de Groot, vice president of the European Investment Bank (EIB).
Answering questions posed by Anadolu Agency (AA) regarding the bank's relations with Türkiye and its activities across the European Union, de Groot first evaluated the financing agreements the EIB has signed with the Türkiye Development and Investment Bank (TKYB) and Türk Eximbank.
The bank recently said it would provide 200 million euros (more than $230 million) to Türkiye to back investments in renewable energy, energy efficiency and sustainable industrial production.
Highlighting the importance of green energy and energy efficiency, which are the focus of the agreements, de Groot underscored that efficiency holds "a significant place" on the business agenda.
