The facility is part of the EUR 250 million Ukraine Public Transport Framework 2 (the “UPTF2” or “Framework”) and will consist of a loan to the Company in the amount of up to EUR 50 million. The loan will be guaranteed by the City of Kyiv (the “City”). The operation will enable the Company to modernise the metro car fleet and procure metro cars for the new metro line to Vynohradar district in the City of Kyiv in Ukraine. The Project primarily targets the Green Transition Quality and is 100 per cent GET. A modal shift to clean public transport as opposed to private cars and minibuses in the City will reduce the amount of polluting air emissions, especially particulate matter (“PM”), including black carbon, and nitrous oxides (“NOx”). The Project will also support Well-governed objectives through the implementation of an updated Corporate Development Programme (“CDP”) and Public Service Contract (“PSC”). Technical Cooperation (“TC”) support for project implementation, update of the CDP and PSC, [REDACTED]is proposed to be financed from the existing TC Frameworks, funded by the EU Municipal Project Support Facility (“EU MPSF”). I am satisfied that the operation is consistent with the Bank’s Country Strategy for Ukraine, the Municipal and Environmental Infrastructure Sector Strategy 2019 - 2024 and the Agreement Establishing the Bank. I recommend that the Board approve the proposed loan substantially on the terms of the attached Report.
