Description
The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) fosters transition to market economies in countries from central and eastern Europe to Central Asia, the Western Balkans and the southern and eastern Mediterranean (SEMED). With the ability and willingness to bear risk on behalf of our clients, we help the countries in which we invest to become open-market economies by investing in projects, engaging in policy dialogue and providing advisory services to enterprises.
We are owned by 64 countries, the European Union (EU) and the European Investment Bank. We work primarily with the private sector, and, since our establishment in 1991, we have become the largest financial investor in the EBRD region.
