EBRD Annual Report 2016

President's message

It is fitting that in the year of its 25th anniversary, the EBRD once again proved capable of navigating a challenging world to deliver strong results. High levels of transition impact arose from the Bank’s increased support for policy reform in combination with investments. During 2016, robust policy engagement accompanied €9.4 billion of investment in 378 projects – equalling the record amount invested in 2015.
