European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (click here)
The EBRD's capital base (click here)
The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) is owned by 64 shareholder countries and organisations.
When each country or organisation became a shareholder - in many cases at the point of the Bank's establishment in the early 1990s - they made a contribution to an overall capital base.
Additional contributions as well as commitments - in the form of callable credit guarantees - have also been made in the period since the Bank's founding, contributing to its very strong capital base, which in turn has led to its robust credit ratings.
That capital base allows the EBRD to raise funds which ultimately form the investment in projects.
