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."

The Three Seas Initiative Investment Fund complements and strengthens the capital deployment of individual Three Seas countries and European Union financial instruments. It is a commercial and market driven initiative to finance only profitable projects, the Fund does not provide non-repayable funds or grants.
