What is the EBRD?
The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) was established in 1991, when communism was crumbling, to support and nurture a new private sector in a democratic environment. Today the EBRD uses the tools of investment to help build market economies and democracies in 29 countries from central Europe to central Asia. The EBRD is the largest single investor in the region and mobilises significant foreign direct investment beyond its own financing. For further information, please see Basic facts about the EBRD.
