With an emphasis on working with the private sector, we invest in projects, engage in policy dialogue and provide technical advice which fosters innovation and builds modern economies that are competitive, well-governed, green, inclusive, resilient and integrated

What we do

Working from its London headquarters and network of 37 Resident Offices, the EBRD invests in commercial projects that deliver a market-based financial return while having a measurable economic, social or environmental impact. We work with private clients of all sizes, including small businesses, which constitute the backbone of many economies in the EBRD regions. We also finance municipal entities and publicly owned companies, often in support of essential infrastructure and services for people. The Bank invests in well-structured, financially robust projects, both directly and through financial intermediaries such as local banks and investment funds. Our principal financing instruments are loans, equity investments and guarantees.
