EBRD Commits €20 Million To AKTOR’s First-Ever €140 Million Bond, Strengthening Greece’s Capital Markets

The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) has committed €20 million to a senior unsecured bond issued by the AKTOR Group of Companies in Greece, supporting the company’s first-ever bond offering. The total bond issuance amounts to €140 million, carries a five-year maturity, and will be listed on the Athens Stock Exchange, marking an important milestone for both AKTOR and Greece’s capital markets.

The EBRD’s investment will support AKTOR’s operations across several key sectors, including renewable energy generation, battery energy storage systems, social infrastructure, and water supply and wastewater projects. Through these activities, the financing is expected to contribute to Greece’s green transition, strengthen climate resilience, and encourage greater private-sector involvement in the delivery of public infrastructure.

The proceeds from the bond issuance will be used to fund AKTOR’s ongoing business operations. This includes investments in infrastructure development, energy projects, and facility management, as well as planned acquisitions and the refinancing of existing debt at the group and subsidiary levels. By providing flexible, long-term funding, the bond will help strengthen AKTOR’s financial position and support its growth strategy.

The issuance is also expected to play a positive role in the continued development of Greece’s domestic capital markets. By attracting investor interest and expanding the range of available corporate debt instruments, the transaction reinforces the role of local capital markets as a sustainable and reliable source of financing for companies, while offering investors a more diversified asset base.

AKTOR Group is a Greece-based infrastructure conglomerate with a broad portfolio of activities spanning construction, concessions, real estate, renewable energy, and facility management. The group operates across south-eastern Europe and plays a significant role in the development and management of major infrastructure projects in the region.

The EBRD has been active in Greece since 2015, initially operating on a temporary basis to support the country’s economic recovery following the financial crisis. Since then, the Bank has invested more than €8.6 billion in over 120 projects across Greece’s corporate, financial, energy, and infrastructure sectors, supporting sustainable growth and long-term economic resilience.
