Following a mandate from the Serbian Ministry of Finance, J.P. Morgan has announced its role in supporting the essential 110km Morava Corridor, one of the largest ongoing infrastructure projects in the country.

This global collaboration was managed by Serbia’s Ministry of Construction, Transport and Infrastructure contracted an international joint venture between Bechtel Corporation (Bechtel) of the United States and Enka İnşaat ve Sanayi A.Ş. (Enka) of Turkey (operating as Bechtel ENKA UK Limited (BEJV)) to design and build this 110-km motorway from Pojate to Preljina in Serbia.
To assist in the financing of this project, J.P. Morgan acted as Mandated Lead Arranger, Agent and Lender for financing, supported by UK Export Finance (UK Export Credit Agency) and Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (World Bank Group), totalling more than €800 million.
