Kredit je obezbedila EIB, garancije je dalo crnogorsko ministarstvo finansija, a kredit će se realizovati posredstvom devet od 11 komercijalnih banaka u Crnoj Gori.

Ugovor su u Podgorici potpisali potpredsednik EIB-a Dario Skanapieko i crnogorski ministar finansija Igor Lukšić.

Na osnovu procene EIB-a vlada je izdala garancije za kredit Crnogorskoj komercijalnoj banci (CKB) u iznosu od 33 miliona evra, Hipo Alpe Adria banci pet miliona, NLB Montenegro banci 20, Podgoričkoj 7 miliona evra, Atlasmont banci devet miliona evra i Oportrjuniti koja raspolaže sa šest miliona evra.

Kredit će se realizovati i posredstvom Hipotekrane banke koja će raspolagati sa cetiri miliona evra, Komercijalne banke Budva u iznosu od tri i Frst Fajnenšal banke (First Financial Bank) kojoj je opređeljeno dva miliona evra.

Grejs period za odobrena sredstva je četiri, odnosno pet godina, ukoliko se radi o infrastrukturnom projektu, dok je period otplate kredita 12, odnosno 15 godina za infrastrukturne projekte.

Potpredsednik crnogorske vlade i ministar finansija Igor Lukšić ocenio je da će taj kreditni aranžman "povećati kreditni potencijal poslovnih banaka" i "unaprediti njihove bilansne sume, jer se radi o vrlo povoljnim sredstvima".

Potpredsednik EIB-a Dario Skanapieko je kazao da će tim kreditom i sa dodatnih 100 miliona evra, koje bi banke u naredne dve godine trebalo da stave na raspolaganje za mala i srednja preduzeća, biti "angažovano" oko šest odsto bruto domaćeg proizvoda.

Predstavnici vlade i EIB-a najavili su skoro potpisivanje ugovora o kreditu sa crnogorskim poslovnim bankama kojima je odobren.

“Ako se ne osvestimo, imaćemo niži bruto domaći proizvod po stanovniku od tih zemalja”, upozorio je on reagujući na

izveštaj o konkurentnosti Hrvatske u 2008, predstavljen u utorak. Najveći je problem, pokazala je analiza, što hrvatski izvozni proizvodi danas imaju isti udeo na tržištu Evropske unije kao i pre 10 godina, što jasno pokazuje kako Hrvatska stagnira u konkurentnosti.

"Mi smo na 0,12 odsto udela od 1999, pa su nam se približile Srbija, Crna Gora i Kosovo, koji su u tom razdoblju tri puta povećali tržišni udeo u EU", navela je članica NVK Slavica Singer.

Privrednici smatraju da su u poslovanju najproblematičniji niska produktivnost javne uprave, korupcija, poreska regulativa, neodgovarajuće obrazovana radna snaga i pristup finansijskim izvorima. Članovi NVK slažu se kako kriza i recesija moraju biti dodatan podsticaj za reforme u celom društvu.

"Za razliku od nas, oni nekog vraga rade. Pošaljimo svoje ljude u Crnu Goru i Tursku da vide kako su oni uredili svoje kafiće i plaže i podigli turizam. Trenutak je kritičan, vreme je za zvona za uzbunu", ocenio je Mudrinić.

Krgović je novinarima posle sastanka sa predstavnicima Vlade i Udruženja banaka rekao da je bankarski sistem bio najviše pogođen krizom, da je sada u fazi "stabilizacije", ali da je situacija "još uvek rovita, bez obzira na optmistične prognoze koje dolaze iz sveta i koje treba uzeti sa rezervom".

Guverener CBCG je rekao da u narednom periodu treba izmeniti regulativu kako bi se tom regulatoru dalo "više prostora i kapaciteta da bolje upravlja likvidnošću".

Crnogorski premijer Milo Đukanović je ponovio da je cilj Vlade Crne Gore da u 2009. godini "očuva ekonomiju na nultoj stopi rasta" i ocenio da je to "drastično prizmeljenje, ako se ima u vidu da je tokom krizne 2008. godine stopa rasta bila 8,1 odsto".

On je izrazio očekivanje da će krediti Evropske investicione banke (EIB) i nemačke razvojne banke KFW, ukupne vrednosti 150 miliona evra, "stvoriti pojačani kreditni portfolio banaka i omogućiti da one budu aktivnije prema klijentima, što je pretpostavka za viši nivo privrednog dinamizma do kraja 2009. godine".
