Environmental, humanitarian and economic crises continue to shock the regions where the EBRD invests, affecting millions of people.   

Access to finance can make the difference to recovery, relaunching a business and rebuilding a livelihood. The financial sector must, therefore, play a critical role in the recovery and long-term resilience of affected economies. However, standard financial products may not be well suited to the realities and risk profiles of people facing crisis, who may lack the documentation, collateral or track record normally required.  

Hear directly from sector experts how innovative financial structures and partnerships are enabling financial institutions to respond to such crises and consider opportunities to rebuild in a greener, more equitable and more sustainable way, while maintaining a sound banking mandate.
