The Czech-Moravian Guarantee and Development Bank (ČMZRB) and the Railway Infrastructure Manager (Správa železnic, hereinafter “RIM”) signed a Memorandum of Understanding in order to identify and prepare railway infrastructure projects. Railway connection between the Václav Havel Airport and the city centre was chosen as a pilot project to be realized under this memorandum.

The Czech-Moravian Guarantee and Development Bank (ČMZRB) signed two memoranda on cooperation as part of an effort to increase its involvement in public infrastructure financing. In December 2020, the bank signed a memorandum with the City of Pardubice, which is the capital of the Pardubice Region and one of the main regional centres in Eastern Bohemia. In January 2021, the bank signed a memorandum with the Moravian-Silesian Region, which is located in the north-eastern part of the Czech Republic.

The Czech National Bank issued a licence for the National Development Fund SICAV (“NDF”). This will enable the participation of private capital on infrastructure financing in the Czech Republic. Board of Directors of NDF together with potential private investors have already started to identify and assess potential infrastructure projects for financing. Beside the Czech-Moravian Guarantee and Development Bank (ČMZRB), four commercial banks as private investors joined this initiative: Česká spořitelna, Komerční banka, Československá obchodní banka and UniCredit Bank Czech Republic and Slovakia. Other private investors can join NDF in future.
