The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) was established to help build a new, post-Cold War era in Central and Eastern Europe. It has since played a historic role and gained unique expertise in fostering change in the region - and beyond - investing more than €190 billion in over 7,000 projects. The EBRD is committed to furthering progress towards ‘market-oriented economies and the promotion of private and entrepreneurial initiative’. This has been its guiding principle since its creation at the beginning of the 1990s and, new challenges and the welcoming of new countries to the EBRD world notwithstanding, will continue to be its mission in years to come.
EBRD is currently active in more than 35 countries from Central Europe to Central Asia and the southern and eastern Mediterranean, plus the West Bank and Gaza. Since 2023 the bank has been exploring limited and incremental expansion of its operations to sub-Saharan Africa and Iraq. From 2025 to 2030, the EBRD will be able to invest in up to six countries in sub-Saharan Africa.
At the end of 2023 governors approved a resolution to increase the Bank’s paid-in capital by €4 billion, bringing its capital base to €34 billion. The additional capital from shareholders is aimed at providing significant and sustained investment for Ukraine’s real economy, both in wartime and during reconstruction, and helping support other priorities across all economies where they operate.
