Special study: EBRD Trade Facilitation Programme

The EBRD’s Trade Facilitation Programme (TFP) was established in 1993 to support trade flows in Bank Countries of Operation through short-term facilities to provide liquidity. A new annual limit of €3.0 billion was agreed by the Board in July 2020. This evaluation provides background on trends in international trade and their major drivers, reviews other MDBs’ approaches to trade facilitation, and summarises the findings of previous evaluations of trade facilitation activities.
