The European Investment Bank (EIB) has granted a $ 340 million loan to Algeria's Sonatrach. The loan is earmarked for
financing 4 compressor stations on the Alrar-Hassi R'mel gas pipeline.
The 18-year loan "is the most important granted by the EIB to a non-European Union firm", noted the statement by the
energy and mines ministry.
The EIB has already participated in financing other gas projects in Algeria, such as the Maghreb-Europe gas pipeline
and development of the Rhourde-Nouss gas fields.
