KYIV, Nov 21 – The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) plans to close 2022 with investments in Ukraine of over EUR 1.5 billion, Matteo Patrone, EBRD Managing Director for Eastern Europe and the Caucasus, said at the Ukrainian Investment Roadshow conference last week in London.

Next year the EBRD is going to do as much, if not more, depending on how the situation develops, he said.

Patrone said that the EBRD typically invests around EUR 10-11 billion a year in its countries of operations, so the amount allocated to Ukraine shows its role for the bank.
