The European Investment Bank (EIB) on Friday said it has granted Poland a credit line of 650 million euros to finance actions related to tackling the Covid-19 pandemic, especially in the fields of health care and public protection. "The Minister of Finance has concluded a contract with the European Investment Bank (EBI), thanks to which Poland will gain a credit line to the tune of 650 million euros to finance activities in the framework of fighting the pandemic," the bank said in a statement.
