The EBRD will focus on the following strategic priorities in Turkey for 2019-2024:
- strengthening resilience of the financial sector and develop domestic capital and financial markets;
- fostering Turkey’s knowledge economy and higher value-added activities, and promote good governance;
- promoting economic inclusion and gender equality through private sector engagement;
- accelerating Turkey’s green economy transition and regional energy connectivity.
As well as being a country of operation, Turkey is also a donor to the EBRD with a total contribution of €31 million. Turkey established its first bilateral donor fund with EBRD in January 2019, for an amount of €25 million. The fund aims to support projects in Turkey, Azerbaijan, Moldova, Romania and the Kyrgyz Republic, with the potential to also support Moldova. The fund prioritises projects for SME development, financial sector stability, sustainable infrastructure, energy efficiency, governance and economic inclusion. In 2013, Turkey provided EU funding to EBRD for its Women in Business programme.
