The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) plans to invest at least 1.5 billion euros in Ukraine in 2025, and after the end of the war, this amount could increase to 3 billion euros annually. About this stated EBRD President Odile Renaud-Basso.
According to her, the bank will focus on supporting the private sector, energy, infrastructure and transport.
“Our plan is to maintain this level of investment. We aim to provide at least 1.5 billion euros, but if we can do more, we will do it.” – noted Renault-Basso.
The energy sector will remain a priority in 2025 and in the long term. The president of the EBRD emphasized that the development of renewable energy sources and the modernization of infrastructure can become important factors in attracting private capital after the war.
“There is a huge potential that can attract significant interest from foreign investors. This will create high activity in the country and become a real stimulus for the growth of the economy.” – emphasized Renault-Basso.
Also, the bank will support “Ukrzaliznytsia” and promote the restoration of cargo transportation insurance, which disappeared due to the war.
“We hope to restore this market so that businesses have access to such services”, – added the president of the EBRD.
