Products and services

• Project Financing EBRD's Project Financing provides senior loans, subordinated debt, and guarantees to private and public sector clients for capital-intensive infrastructure and industrial projects across transition economies. The product targets large enterprises, project sponsors, and government counterparties requiring long-term financing that commercial banks cannot underwrite in their markets.
