The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) was founded in 1991 to create a new post-Cold War era in central and eastern Europe. We are now doing more than ever before - across three continents - to further progress towards ‘market-oriented economies and the promotion of private and entrepreneurial initiative’.
The EBRD is owned by 71 countries, as well as the European Union and the European Investment Bank. Each shareholder is represented on the Board of Governors, which has overall authority over the Bank.
A clearly defined set of standards governs all our work as we strive to develop a healthy investment climate and promote environmentally and socially sound and sustainable development.
Multiparty democracy and pluralism
