EBRD invests in record number of new projects in 2010

The EBRD continued its vigorous response to the impact of the global economic crisis on the countries where it invests, financing a record number of projects in 2010 and taking overall investments to unprecedented new levels.

The number of project signings leapt by nearly one quarter to a new high of 386 from 311 in 2009 as the Bank worked to boost the process of economic reform especially in the less advanced countries of the Caucasus and Central Asia and in the western Balkans.
