EBRD Investments Hit Historic High of €16.6 Billion in 2024

Driven by green energy projects and support for Ukraine, the EBRD’s investments soared to €16.6 billion in 2024, setting a new record in its history

The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) has reported a record-breaking €16.6 billion in investments for 2024, marking a 26% year-on-year increase. This surge reflects the institution’s expanded focus on financing green energy projects and bolstering Ukraine amid ongoing challenges.

Over three-quarters of the 584 projects backed by the EBRD last year were directed toward the private sector, underscoring the bank’s commitment to driving economic growth and sustainability through private enterprise. Additionally, total mobilization—the investment unlocked from non-bank sources—reached an impressive €26.7 billion, showcasing the bank’s ability to attract external funding to support its initiatives.

Turkey retained its position as the top investment destination, followed by Ukraine, Egypt, Poland, and Uzbekistan. The prioritization of these regions highlights the EBRD’s focus on emerging markets and areas facing significant economic and infrastructural challenges

As a cornerstone of international development, the EBRD is owned by 74 countries, alongside the European Union and the European Investment Bank. The United States remains a significant stakeholder, holding 10% of the bank’s capital.

The record investment levels signal the EBRD’s growing role in addressing global challenges, from energy transition to post-crisis recovery. As the bank continues to channel funds into transformative projects, its 2024 performance underscores the institution’s mission to foster sustainable economic development in some of the world’s most dynamic and vulnerable regions.
