Our services

We provide funds for well-structured, financially robust projects, engage in policy dialogue with governments and other international financial institutions (IFIs) and give targeted technical assistance. We provide financing directly or through financial intermediaries, such as local banks and investment funds. We also provide support through business development programmes that help to promote new skills in the region.

The EBRD offers a wide range of financial instruments and takes a flexible approach in structuring its financial products.

Direct financing

The principal forms of direct financing provided by the EBRD are loans, equity and guarantees:

  • loans are tailored to meet the particular requirements of a project. The credit risk may be taken entirely by the Bank or partly syndicated to the market.
  • an equity investment may be undertaken in a variety of forms. When the EBRD takes an equity stake, it expects an appropriate return on its investment and will only take a minority position.
  • guarantees are also provided by the Bank to help borrowers gain access to financing.

Assistance for small business

One of the EBRD’s key aims is to support the development of micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) which are crucial to nurturing a private sector economy. To do this, we make equity and loan financing available to MSMEs through a range of intermediaries throughout our countries of operations.

These intermediaries include banks in which the EBRD has an equity stake or with which it has signed a loan, and investment or venture capital funds in which the EBRD has made an investment.

The EBRD also provides direct financing and support for MSMEs through a number of loan and equity facilities.

Advice and guidance

The EBRD’s complementary, donor-funded business development programme – TurnAround Management (TAM) and Business Advisory Services (BAS) – helps build stronger businesses.

TAM focuses on broad managerial and structural changes within small and medium-sized enterprises, bringing in sector-specific, internationally experienced executives from economically developed countries to help the businesses develop a new management culture and skills. BAS helps micro and small enterprises improve performance by supporting local consultants in projects with narrowly defined objectives and market development activities.

Both programmes prepares enterprises for outside investment, including EBRD-financed projects.
