The EBRD is the largest single investor in central and eastern Europe and the
CIS.
Direct investments generally range from €5 million to €230 million. Smaller
projects are financed both directly by the EBRD and through financial
intermediaries. By supporting local commercial banks, micro-business banks,
equity funds and leasing facilities, the EBRD has helped finance over 1
million smaller projects.
The EBRD provides loan and equity finance, guarantees, leasing facilities and
trade finance. The Bank also finances professional development through support
programmes.
