EBRD President visits Ukraine


The President of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), Odile Renaud-Basso, travels to Ukraine on 22 and 23 March for high-level meetings. It is her first official, in-person, visit to a country where the Bank invests.

During her visit, President Renaud-Basso meets Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal, as well as other government and business leaders.

Discussions during the visit are focused on the reforms needed to unlock investment by the EBRD and other investors, as well as the post-COVID-19 recovery.

Ukraine is a top three investment destination for the EBRD. In the past two years alone, the Bank has committed €2 billion to the economy. The investments are combined with support for policies that promote the fight against corruption, good governance of state-owned enterprises, structural reforms and a more transparent business environment.
