Total mobilisation, a metric that includes private, public, direct and indirect finance mobilised, reached a record €26.8 billion. The Bank stepped up its direct mobilisation efforts, achieving a record €4.82 billion, while indirect mobilisation amounted to €21.97 billion.
For over three decades, the EBRD has been supporting countries in transitioning to open and market-oriented economies. Mobilisation, particularly private-sector mobilisation, has always been at the heart of its operations.
Christian Kleboth, EBRD Head of Debt Mobilisation, said: “With substantially increased efforts by the EBRD and the great cooperation of our partners in the commercial banking, insurance and institutional investor space, we significantly increased our direct mobilisation delivery last year. The EBRD’s activities overall led to almost €27 billion of additional financing flowing to our clients and economies. We continue to launch new mobilisation products attractive to institutional investors and other co-financing partners to increase the EBRD’s financing capabilities and thereby improve lives in the economies where we operate.”
MDBs have taken on a leadership role to help attract private investment to support development projects around the world. To close the development financing gap, the bulk of investment will have to come from the private sector. This is particularly acute in climate finance, where the widening gap will require estimated additional annual investment of US$ 2-2.8 trillion (€1.8-2.6 trillion) by 2030.
At the COP29 climate conference in Baku, the multilateral development banks (MDBs) estimated that by 2030, their collective annual private climate mobilisation will be reaching US$ 130 billion (€120.2 billion). In 2023, the EBRD alone mobilised US$ 26.7 billion (€24.7 billion), making the Bank a leading private climate mobiliser.
