Gazprombank, acting within the strategy of creating the infrastructure #MEGAPLAYER, Government of the Nizhny Novgorod Region and Bamtonnelstroy-Most Group of Companies (BTS-MOST Group) entered into a cooperation agreement on implementation of investment projects in the sphere of infrastructure construction in the Nizhny Novgorod Region.

The trilateral document was signed by First Vice President – Head of Infrastructure Projects and PPP Department of Gazprombank Pavel Brusser, Governor of the Nizhny Novgorod Region Gleb Nikitin and Chairman of the Board of Directors of BTS-MOST JSC Ruslan Baisarov. The parties expressed their interest in launching and implementing infrastructure projects for the benefit of the region and providing all-round informational and methodological support at all implementation stages of the investment initiatives in the Nizhny Novgorod Region.

“Given the limited resources of the regional budget, the implementation of socially important projects for the Nizhny Novgorod Region using a PPP mechanism is extremely relevant. By providing credit resources to a private entity, the Bank is able to make such projects financially sound. As for the investor search, project “pitching”, assistance in preparing documents, we are ready to do this job together with the professionals from BTS-Most. As a rule, the Bank acts not only as a financial institution, but also as an expert organization that is ready to share its experience to let as many qualitative PPP initiatives as possible appear on the market. We are always ready to support the initiatives significant for the Volga Region,” First Vice President – Head of the Infrastructure Projects and PPP Department of Gazprombank Pavel Brusser said.

“The implementation of infrastructure projects under current conditions becomes a strong impetus for the entire region to move forward. In particular, it applies to such instruments as infrastructure loans. Such work requires involvement of reliable partners with experience in this sphere. The agreement we’ve signed today is aimed at this particular purpose. Our plans include some major transport projects, including those aimed at the development of new territories. It is important to develop the region, to create new jobs, to create new growth areas. Without infrastructure development it is impossible,” Governor of the Nizhny Novgorod Region Gleb Nikitin said.

“Bamtonnelstroy-Most Group of Companies has unmatched experience in construction of the most complicated transport infrastructure facilities throughout our country. The Nizhny Novgorod Region is not an exception, now we erect here the cable-stayed bridge over the Oka River and the beam bridge over the Sura River as part of the M-12 Moscow – Nizhny Novgorod – Kazan Highway construction project. I am convinced that in cooperation with one of the largest banks in Russia we will be able to make a significant contribution to the construction of socially relevant infrastructure facilities for residents of the Nizhny Novgorod Region,” Deputy General Director of BTS-MOST JSC Alexander Kozarenko said.
