EBRD eyes steady Ukraine investment in 2027 - Renaud-Basso
The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development's financing in Ukraine in 2027 will be roughly at the level of previous years, but exact figures depend on private sector investment demand and general economic conditions, EBRD President Odile Renaud-Basso told Interfax-Ukraine.
The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) anticipates maintaining similar investment levels in Ukraine for 2027, according to President Odile Renaud-Basso. The bank's decision hinges on private sector investment demand and prevailing economic conditions. EBRD funding in Ukraine has totaled nearly EUR 11 billion since the outbreak of the war, with plans to invest around EUR 2.7 billion in 2026.
The bank's activities are contingent upon viable projects and client financing needs. Renaud-Basso noted that while banks' future actions in the new circumstances remain uncertain, the EBRD's presence has grown consistently in recent years and now stabilizes at its current level. In terms of public sector investment, the EBRD recognizes the substantial need, even as state-owned entities encounter constraints on borrowing and debt repayment.
To sustain investments in this sector, the bank requires external guarantees and aid from international donors.
