EBRD Director for Ukraine Shevki Adzhuner expects to increase the bank investment in the realization of projects in Ukraine in 2017 up to 1 bln euros, he told Interfax-Ukraine on Monday in Kyiv.
“For previous two years we made investments, amounting to EUR 2.2 bln in total, which is about EUR 1 billion per year; that is why I expect that this year we will increase the level of investments up to this amount”, he said.
Adzhuner specified that in 2016, the EBRD’s investments in Ukraine were equal to about 600 mln euros due to the political instability in Ukraine in early 2016.
EBRD Director for Ukraine noted that as of 2017, the bank had the serious investment portfolio and the situation in Donbass should not influence the volume of such investments.
In particular, according to him, in 2017, EBRD intends to invest in the construction of the subway in Kharkiv, the development of electrical networks of Ukraine, in the energy sphere as well as finance several projects, associated with the port industry in Ukraine.
