A core part of the Bank’s mandate in Belarus is to increase competition and promote the growth of the private sector.
Therefore, it is fitting that the Bank’s first investment in the fuel sector in Belarus was a long-term loan of US$ 10 million to A-100 Group, a medium-sized, privately-owned chain of Belarus petrol stations. The project will help A-100 to increase its share of the country’s fuel distribution market and challenge the state-owned and Russian energy majors that dominate the sector. http://www.ebrd.com/downloads/research/factsheets/belarus.pdf The EBRD and Belarus The current political, economic and structural reform environment in Belarus warrants the continued application of a calibrated strategic approach, incorporating both political and economic benchmarks to gauge the country’s progress or regress against its key Article 1 commitments and adjusting the Bank’s operational response accordingly. In keeping with the calibrated strategic approach, the Bank’s overall engagement in Belarus will continue to be modulated to reflect the country’s progress against annually updated political and economic benchmarks. In light of recent political and economic developments, while continuing its policy of constructive engagement to promote reform, the Bank will further calibrate its engagement in Belarus to limit its involvement with state-owned enterprises in the areas of trade finance, energy efficiency credit lines and private equity funds.

The Bank continued supporting the Ukrainian banking sector. Under the conditions of limited access to international financial markets, EBRD client-banks made active use of the Trade Facilitation Programme, which recorded exceptionally high volumes. A large energy efficiency lending facility of US$ 50 million was signed with UkrEximBank. The EBRD also participated in the capital increase of Ukrsibbank (BNP Paribas Group).
Finally, a major step towards overcoming the legacy of the Chernobyl accident and ensuring long-term safety at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant was achieved in 2012 with the successful completion of the first lifting stage of
the New Safe Confinement. This project is implemented under the financial supervision and the support of the EBRD
