The President of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), Odile Renaud-Basso, will visit Poland on 7 and 8 November 2024. This will be her fourth visit to the country, during which Ms Renaud-Basso will be accompanied by the EBRD’s Vice President for Banking, Matteo Patrone.
While in Poland, the President will meet with senior government officials and clients, business partners and civil society representatives.
Discussions will focus on advancing shared priorities, such as renewable energy and the development of capital markets, enhancing the competitiveness and innovation of Polish companies, the Bank’s business in Poland, and Ukraine.
Discussing her visit, Ms Renaud-Basso said: “Poland is one of the EBRD’s top investment destinations, and a key market. We have already invested over €1 billion in the Polish economy this year, and we stand ready to invest further.
“My visit provides an opportunity for us to explore how we can further support Poland’s vibrant private sector amid the challenging economic backdrop particularly given the war in neighbouring Ukraine. It also allows the Bank and our government partners to assess progress on our priorities.”
The EBRD is among the leading institutional investors in Poland. Since the start of its operations in the country in 1991, the Bank has invested more than €14.9 billion in 544 projects. Last year the Bank invested a record €1.3 billion in Poland.
