Alpha Bank was named “Most Active Issuing Bank in 2018 in Greece”, by the
European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD).
This important award, which Alpha Bank has received from the EBRD for the second
consecutive year, highlights the Bank’s particularly successful participation in the
EBRD’s “Trade Facilitation Programme” and recognises its contribution both in
making Greek businesses more extrovert as well as in the overall economic growth.
Through this particular Programme, Alpha Bank, from 2016 to this day, has helped
hundreds of Greek businesses reinforce their exports and either start or expand their
international commercial activities in all the countries where the EBRD is present.
Specifically, the “Trade Facilitation Programme”, through guarantees provided by the
EBRD, further improves the credit rating of the Bank’s International Trade products
and their acceptance by international banking institutions. Hence, Alpha Bank
provides innovative and effective solutions to Greek businesses that represent
almost all sectors of the economy, enabling them, among other things, to participate
in international competitions as well as make international trade transactions with an
extended network of clients and suppliers abroad.
On behalf of Alpha Bank, the Manager of the Wholesale Banking Lending Division
Georgia Farmaki, the Senior Manager of the Trading Division Aikaterini Marmara and
the Manager of the Financial Products Division Athanassios Pavlidis received the
award, at the “2019 EBRD Annual Meeting & Business Forum” that recently took
place in Sarajevo.
