The EBRD and the war on Ukraine

We strongly condemn Russia's war against Ukraine. We are horrified by the loss of human lives and the scale of the destruction.

We have agreed to commit up to €3 billion over 2022-23 to help Ukraine’s businesses and economy keep functioning.  

In 2022 we deployed €1.7 billion, and a further €200 million mobilised from partner banks, to support the real economy and vital infrastructure.

EBRD commits up to €3 billion in 2022-2023

Our financing for Ukraine has already included emergency liquidity for its railway and electricity companies and support for Naftogaz. We are also one of the partners working on keeping trade routes open through the Solidarity Lanes initiative.  

Our President was the first head of a multilateral development bank to visit Kyiv since the war began.
