The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) invested EUR1.1 billion in 51 projects in the public and private sectors of Ukraine in 2019, EBRD Senior Adviser for External Affairs Anton Usov has said.
“Last year, among the countries of EBRD operations, Ukraine ranked second in terms of investments and first in the number of signed projects. Some EUR680 million of the total investment in Ukraine in 2019 was assigned to the “green” category [projects with an environmental component], which is the highest figure among all EBRD countries,” he said on Facebook.
The EBRD is the largest international financial investor in Ukraine. Since the beginning of its activity in the country in 1993, the bank has financed 445 projects for a total amount of almost EUR14.6 billion.
