The bank also granted two loans of the total value of 250 million euros for the support of projects implemented by small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), the Polish news agency PAP quoted the bank as saying on Sunday.
The funds are to help Poland invest in a society based on knowledge and improve access of SMEs, suffering most from the present economic crisis, to medium- and long-term financing.
The 675-million-euro loan is addressed to the Ministry of Science, state scientific institutes and universities. The funds are earmarked, among others, for research infrastructure and the co-financing of wages of scholars implementing government scientific programs.
