After hearing the Ministry of Economics report “On the involvement of the joint-stock company ‘Development Finance Institution Altum’ in the Three Seas Initiative Investment Fund”, the Cabinet of Ministers at a meeting on 7 May endorsed the involvement of ALTUM in the Three Seas Initiative Investment Fund, which is a new financial instrument to support transport, energy and digitalization infrastructure projects in Central and Eastern Europe.

ALTUM investment in the Three Seas Initiative Investment Fund is projected at EUR 20 million. The investment by ALTUM is yet to be harmonized with the European Commission regarding compliance with the European Union’s rules on business support supervision.

Minister of Economics Jānis Vitenbergs: “The purpose of the Investment Fund is to foster the development of strategic infrastructure in the Three Seas region, thereby increasing interconnectivity. Taking into account the impact of Covid-19 on the Latvian economy, this will be another opportunity to invest in the Latvian economy, which will prompt the development of strategically important infrastructure projects that are essential for ensuring economic growth of our region. We are planning that 40% of the Fund’s investments will go to transport infrastructure, 40% to energy and 20% to digitalization.”
