Brunswick Rail, a freight-leasing company operating in Russia, got $200 million in loans from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development and commercial banks.
The financing comprises $100 million of five-year debt from a bank syndicate, and $100 million for eight years from the EBRD, the development agency said in a statement. Proceeds will be used to purchase more than 5,000 new railcars to help meet growing demand, the EBRD said.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
