Croatian national motorways company 5454 Hrvatske Autoceste (HAC) is receiving funding in the shape of a €100 million loan from Hypo Alpa Adria Bank and Hypo Alpa Adria International, from Klagenfurt in Austria.

A guarantee for the loan is being supplied by the Croatian Government. The loan is approved over a five-year repayment period and with a 6.99% interest rate. Funding will be used for liquidity and regular payments to construction firms. The move increases HAC's gearing as it has so far borrowed €80 million for this year. However, HAC's investments in 2009 are expected to reach €439.08 million for projects including construction of 9km of the Zagreb-Sisak highway and 32km of the Osijek-Dakovo highway.
