Three institutions issued a joint pledge Friday to provide up to 24.5 billion euros ($31.2 billion) to support Eastern Europe's banking sector and to fund business loans.

The move by the World Bank, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development and the European Investment Bank comes as Eastern European nations struggle to meet massive, foreign-denominated debt obligations.
