The Black Sea Trade and Development Bank (BSTDB) plans to host new business events across its member countries in the coming months as part of an effort to expand its regional presence, the bank's president said Wednesday, Trend's correspondent reports from the event. Speaking at the 28th Annual Meeting of the Board of Governors in Baku, BSTDB President Serhat Köksal said the lender is stepping up engagement in member countries where its operational footprint has been smaller than expected.

"Last September, the BSTDB held a successful event in Chisinau focused on business development and strengthening cooperation with partners," Köksal said. He said the bank intends to use that event as a model for future outreach, increasing awareness among banks, businesses and government institutions about BSTDB's financing capabilities. "We want the bank's presence to become more visible across the region so that banks, companies and government agencies recognize BSTDB as an alternative and efficient source of financing for their development plans," he said.
