As is known, Gazprombank plans to participate in the project of SOCAR for the creation of a gas chemical complex (GPC), which will be built in Garadagh district.
The Gazprombank Group includes various companies that operate not only on the financial market, but also on the markets of precious metals, oil and gas, construction and others.
