Project Description
Romania - Bond Market Framework II (the "Framework") for the Bank to invest in medium to longterm negotiable debt securities, issued by Romanian banks or non-bank financial institutions ("Participating Financial Institutions" or "PFIs"). The eligible investments will include senior, secured (covered bonds, asset-guaranteed bonds) or unsecured instruments, as well as medium-term note programmes. The current Framework is a continuation of the previous Romania - Bond Market Framework approved by the EBRD in June 2013.
Project Objectives
The proposed Framework is compliant with the Country Strategy for Romania, approved by EBRD on 30 September 2015 which indicates that the Bank will pursue the strategic orientation of "Broadening access to finance by inducing lending and developing capital markets." The Framework contributes to the capital market development by supporting the issuance of senior bonds, as well as more complex financial instrument that are new to the market: covered bonds and asset-guaranteed bonds that would allow local PFIs to strengthen and diversify their funding sources and would contribute to a better balance sheet structure.
Transition Impact
The proposed Framework will contribute to Resilient and Well-governed transition qualities. The Framework will support the development of the Romanian capital market and the bond issuances placed by local PFIs, as well as contribute to the strengthening and diversification of medium and
long-term funding sources of the Romanian PFIs.The Framework will also support the issuance of innovative capital market instruments in Romania, such as covered bonds.

Text of the PIP
Independent Project Accountability Mechanism (IPAM)
If efforts to address environmental, social or public disclosure concerns with the Client or the Bank are unsuccessful (e.g. through the Client’s Project-level grievance mechanism or through direct engagement with Bank management), individuals and organisations may seek to address their concerns through the EBRD’s Independent Project Accountability Mechanism (IPAM).
IPAM independently reviews Project issues that are believed to have caused (or to be likely to cause) harm. The purpose of the Mechanism is: to support dialogue between Project stakeholders to resolve environmental, social and public disclosure issues; to determine whether the Bank has complied with its Environmental and Social Policy or Project-specific provisions of its Access to Information Policy; and where applicable, to address any existing non-compliance with these policies, while preventing future non-compliance by the Bank.
Please visit the Independent Project Accountability Mechanism webpage to find out how to submit a Request for review through our confidential online form, by email, mail or telephone. IPAM is available to discuss your concerns and answer any questions you may have about the submission or handling of Requests, which follow the Project Accountability Policy and Guidance. Requestors’ identities may be kept confidential, upon request.
