European Bank for Reconstruction and Development
The U.S. is the largest single shareholder in the EBRD, the world’s newest multilateral development bank. The Bank’s program promotes the growth of market-based economies in 28 countries in Central and Eastern Europe and the Former Soviet Union. With US$20 billion of capital, the Bank offers a wide range of financing mechanisms to promote privatization, restructuring, and liberalization in this highly dynamic region.
The Advocacy Center's Liaison Office to the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (AC-EBRD) is an integral part of U.S. representation at the EBRD and works closely with the Executive Director's office to increase the effectiveness of U.S. participation in Bank programs. AC-EBRD provides information to U.S. businesses on how the EBRD works and how U.S. companies can participate in EBRD projects. AC-EBRD also offers guidance to U.S. companies throughout the project cycle.
