In this keynote, the EBRD’s Chief Financial Officer offers a clear-eyed assessment of how one of the world’s most active development banks is financing resilience across a more fragmented and volatile landscape. We explore how the Bank is deploying capital across its core regions, with major investments in renewable energy, sustainable transport, energy security, digital infrastructure and SME finance. The keynote will also examine the financial and geopolitical implications of the war in Ukraine, including the EBRD’s ongoing commitments and its preparations for large-scale reconstruction through the Ukraine FIRST initiative. Additional themes include balance-sheet optimisation, managing currency and liquidity risks, and strengthening cooperation between MDBs, ECAs, DFIs and private insurers to accelerate bankable projects in complex markets.
