Reinis Bērziņš, Chairman of the Management Board of Altum:

 

“The operational results of the first half-year illustrate clearly the role of ALTUM in averting the downturn of economy. As swiftly as possible ALTUM set up designated working capital and guarantee instruments for support of the crisis-stricken companies. The impact of these instruments is evident – the cumulative effect that ALTUM’s financial instruments granted to the entrepreneurs since the start of the crisis up to this day have exerted on the national economy surpasses 450 million euro. Having expanded the range of the state aid instruments ALTUM has made it possible for the exporting companies to insure their transactions concluded with the European Union member states disregarding of the volume of the export and has recorded nearly a five-fold increase in interest about the export credit guarantee instrument. ALTUM is glad to support the entrepreneurs of Latvia with funding and competence not only in regular circumstances, but also in economic slowdown when the private sector financiers adopt a more conservative stance to evaluation of the business projects while the businesses require additional funding more than ever.”
