The Black Sea Trade and Development Bank issued the following announcement on Oct. 4.

The Black Sea Trade and Development Bank (BSTDB) is a regional financial institution, headquartered in Thessaloniki (Komninon 1), which seeks to promote economic development and foster cooperation among its member countries. Information about BSTDB may be obtained at www.bstdb.org.

The Bank’s website objective is to promote BSTDB’s institutional image and business profile, build and maintain awareness of the Bank, both in the Black Sea region and globally. BSTDB’s Website is the main official communication tool to present Bank’s identity, mission, objectives, products and services to all stakeholders and target groups. The website is also planned to generate business and promote BSTDB as “knowledge bank”, offering information regarding the Black Sea region and member countries, development and co-operation issues, Bank’s working practices and lessons learnt.

The current version of the BSTDB website (www.bstdb.org) requires updating and improvements in terms of look and feel, and functionality. It shall be re-designed to become more fresh and modern-looking, dynamic and user-friendly, to communicate in a concise manner the implementation of the Bank’s mandate, the development impact of its operations in member countries and in the Black Sea region.
