Lending and Investment Activity

The Bank finances major investment projects in the Eurasian region through long-term lending to state-owned or private enterprises, equity participation in the capital of organisations, mezzanine financing, the issuance of guarantees, and the financing of investment funds and financial institutions for their subsequent support of real-sector enterprises and trade operations.

The Bank’s core focus is on financing the following types of projects:

Projects with a strong integration effect:

Cross-border infrastructure

Projects that strengthen trade, economic and investment ties between member states, support the creation and development of common markets, as well as national integration infrastructure projects and projects in border regions that increase trade turnover and cargo mobility, facilitate the movement of citizens and create other cross-border effects for the Bank’s member states;

Integration of entities

Projects providing for genuine corporate integration of economic entities from different member states of the Bank when creating a product or providing a service;

International trade

Trade operations between counterparties from the Bank’s member states;

Mutual investment

Projects implying growth of mutual investment by EDB shareholders.

National development projects:

  • national, regional and municipal infrastructure projects across various industries;
  • projects to develop and establish new production facilities required, among other things, to increase the participation of a country’s economic entities in one or more value-added chains, to support the import-substitution efforts undertaken by the Bank’s member countries and to strengthen the export potential of national economies;
  • projects with an innovation component associated with changing the technological paradigm and the production methods of national companies;
  • replicable projects – the financing of scalable investment projects as well as development programmes.

Special emphasis is placed on «green» financing projects.

Priority areas of project activity:

Other infrastructure

Chemical and petrochemical industry

Metallurgy and mining

Oil and gas industry

Financial sector

Information technology

Power generation

Machine building

Agro-industrial complex

This list of industries is a priority one, but it is not exhaustive.

The target «optimal» size of the Bank’s participation in projects ranges from USD 20 to 200 million; however, this does not preclude the possibility of financing less costly projects, primarily in member states with comparatively small economies.
