MOSCOW, October 6 (RIA Novosti) - Leading Russian commercial bank Promsvyazbank [RTS: PSB] said Friday it has secured two loans totaling 12.8 million euros from Germany's Commerzbank AG.
A Promsvyazbank news release said Commerzbank has agreed to disburse a loan of 11.8 million euros, with a repayment term of eight years, and a 1 million euro loan, repayable within five and a half years, against guarantees by German export agency Hermes.
The larger loan will be used to pay for malt-house equipment to be supplied under a contract between a Promsvyazbank client and Germany's Buhler GmbH, Braunschweig. The smaller loan will go to finance art printing equipment supplies under a Promsvyazbank client's deal with Windmoller & Holscher KG, the release said.
