The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) reported a 26% increase in investments in 2024, reaching a record €16.6 billion. This growth was driven by an uptick in projects in Ukraine and increased financing for green energy initiatives.
More than three-quarters of the 584 projects financed last year were directed toward the private sector. Meanwhile, total mobilization, referring to the overall amount of investments unlocked from non-bank sources, reached €26.7 billion.
Turkey remained the largest investment destination, followed by Ukraine, Egypt, Poland, and Uzbekistan.
The United States holds 10% of the EBRD’s capital, which is owned by 74 countries, the European Union, and the European Investment Bank.
