In 2006 BDB received a EUR 10 million credit line from Japanese Bank for International Cooperation with the cooperation of Mizuho Bank. The funds were used to finance projects of small and medium-sized enterprises to the purchase of Japanese investment equipment.

In December 2009 BDB signed a second loan agreement for EUR 20 million with the Japan Bank for International Cooperation with the participation of Bank of Tokyo Mitsubishi. The purpose of the agreement is to promote the economic cooperation between Japan and Bulgaria by financing Bulgarian companies from all industries which purchase equipment manufactured in Japan and services provided by Japanese companies.
