'Inclusive' is one of the EBRD's six transition qualities
Economics and economic research play a vital role both within the EBRD and in our work in our regions.
Our team of economists provide leading-edge analysis and insight on the latest trends and developments, not least the impact of the coronavirus pandemic, in the countries where we invest and beyond.
To cite two examples of such work's importance, the EBRD's Transition Report 2013, “Stuck in Transition?” highlighted the importance of links between the support for policy reforms and investments. Entitled “Transition for All: Equal opportunities in an unequal world”, our Transition Report 2016-17 laid the foundations for the EBRD’s increased support for Economic Inclusion, including stepped-up efforts to help women, young people, old people and those in remote regions to have a greater share in the fruits of economic progress.
As part of their output, the Office of the Chief Economist (OCE) publishes a number of regular reports.
The economics of the coronavirus pandemic
A series of short notes examine the impact of the pandemic on the EBRD regions. These look, for instance, at the resilience of economies to the Covid-19 shock, provide a repository of policies adopted in response to the pandemic, and analyse various indicators that affect the ease of exiting social distancing and achieving economic recovery.
Transition Report
Regional Economic Prospects
Published in May and November each year, Regional Economic Prospects review the latest economic developments in our regions and summarise economic growth forecasts.

A series of country fact sheets and an accompanying working paper aim to provide an overview of the evolution of greenfield foreign direct investment projects in the EBRD regions.
