Riga, Latvia
The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) will hold its 35th Annual Meeting and Business Forum in Riga, Latvia, on 5–7 June 2026 against a backdrop of rapid change in our world.
This year’s theme — “From volatile to versatile: economies innovating in a changing world” — will explore how our economies are adapting to new realities.
We will gather in Riga, in the Baltics, a region which exemplifies the way dynamic economies can achieve outsized impact through innovation, digitalisation and forward thinking. There we will also reflect on our 35 years of boosting prosperity in economies in transition.
Amidst volatility we promote versatility, empowering economies to adapt and thrive. We do this by enabling the green transition, strengthening governance and advancing human capital and equality of opportunity together with a focus on the private sector, mobilising investment and combining it with business advice and policy reform.
A model first deployed in Eastern Europe is now delivering results in many other regions, including new countries in Africa and in Iraq.
At the same time, our support for Ukraine is unwavering. We continue to help it strengthen its economy and maintain the momentum which will drive future reconstruction and growth.
