HBOR at the 25th International Business Fair in Mostar
The Croatian Bank for Reconstruction and Development participated in 25th International Business Fair, which took place from 16 April to 20 April 2024 in Mostar. This year's partner country of the fair was the Republic of Croatia.
As part of the international fair, on 17 April 2024, the 3rd Mostar Economic Forum was held under the title EU Perspectives for Bosnia and Herzegovina - experience of the Republic of Croatia. As part of the forum, HBOR organised a panel entitled „Internationalisation and Cross-Border Cooperation“.
The participants in the forum were Željko Zadro, Chairman of the Management Board of the Croatian Sugar Industry, Svjetlan Stanić, CEO of Stanić Group, Petar Ćorluka, Chairman of the Management Board of Violeta, Ivan Pandurević, Chairman of the Management Board of Agro Invest Grupa and Dalibor Milinković, acting Executive Director for projects and development of the Development Bank of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The moderator of the panel was Josip Grgić from HBOR.
The participants of the conference were members of the European Parliament, ministers from the Government of the Republic of Croatia, ministers from the Government of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, experts from various chambers of economy as well as the representatives of renowned companies from Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Republic of Croatia.
- The Croatian Bank for Reconstruction and Development continues its task of improving the economic cooperation with Bosnia and Herzegovina. We expect that the forum will provide a further platform for the exchange of ideas and promotion of new projects. We at HBOR are not only focused on promoting the Croatian economy, but also on building business relations with our neighbours, thus encouraging economic cooperation and mutual growth - said on that occasion Hrvoje Čuvalo, President of the Management Board of HBOR.
He added that, although the current exchange of goods between the Republic of Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina was solid, there was still a considerable potential for its expansion and improvement, and HBOR could considerably contribute to that through its export credit programmes, export credit insurance programmes, but also through extending loans for the purchase of business shares, which directly affected the growth of foreign investments in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
