The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) holds its Annual Meeting fully focused on delivering a robust post-COVID future for the 38 emerging economies where it invests.
At the meeting, which was postponed from May and will be held in a virtual session, shareholders will be asked to approve an EBRD strategy for the next five years that preserves the benefits of successful economic transformation in the face of the pandemic challenge.
“As our regions start to recover, our goal will be to support an acceleration of transition, helping our countries build a more resilient, sustainable future,” Acting President Jürgen Rigterink said.
The emphasis of the 2021-25 strategy that goes before the EBRD Governors will be on delivering green, low-carbon economic growth, promoting equality of opportunity, and accelerating the digital transition.
The Annual Meeting will also see the election of a new President of the EBRD after Sir Suma Chakrabarti stepped down at the end of two full four-year terms in July.
