The development of the private sector, to which the @ebrd.bsky.social is determined to contribute in its African countries of operation, will be key to achieving shared prosperity.

With the EBRD starting operations in sub-Saharan Africa this year, she reaffirmed the Bank’s commitment as a strategic partner to the EU-African Union joint vision for 2030 and the €150 billion #GlobalGateway investment package.

The message was clear: strong policy frameworks are the foundation for climate imvestments. MDBs are working together to help implement them.

Moderated by @hallegatte.bsky.social of the World Bank, the conversation included voices from Zambia, Pakistan and Moldova - our country of operation - we were pleased to see Secretary of State Aliona Rusnac join the dialogue.

The session showcased progress on joint initiatives, from the climate policy support stocktake to a new digital portal & the operationalisation of the MDB Long-Term Strategy Programme.

Our Gianpiero Nacci shared our experience with urban investments and blended finance partnerships and our proven track record of helping governments turn their climate ambitions into action.

We also shared insights from our flagship #EBRDGreenCities programme.

We helped bring together national and city leaders, development banks and the private sector to address barriers to urban climate finance and share practical solutions. #COP30
