Business advice

We leverage investments and policy dialogue to support countries’ transition to competitive, well-governed, green, inclusive, resilient and integrated market economies. We do this, by offering Technical Cooperation in the form of policy advice to governments and business advice to private clients.

The EBRD helps identify policy and institutional transition challenges to support sustainable and inclusive growth.

Business advice

The EBRD enhances investments with consulting services across all sectors and transition qualities.

The EBRD engages with authorities in the countries where we invest and promotes a dialogue between public and private sectors to help identify policy and institutional transition challenges to support sustainable and inclusive growth.

Such policy reforms foster well-functioning institutions, laws and regulations to improve the business climate and create a level playing field, unlock investment opportunities and ensure the development of the private sector over the long term.

We conduct extensive economic and political analyses and conversations with key stakeholders to identify the main obstacles to entrepreneurship and private sector development in each of the countries we operate in.

Based on this analysis and feasibility considerations, we develop country strategies that identify priorities for each country, which are then translated into objectives for our investments, policy reforms and business advice programmes.
