Eurasian Development Bank (EDB) and Russian Towers signed a 10-year, $5.2 million loan facility agreement on Monday that will be used to develop the company’s telecommunications infrastructure throughout Russia.

The loan will also help finance the construction and upgrade of antenna masts and towers, with the cost being shared by mobile network operators.
