  3. 1. EBRD’s Priorities EBRD is not a policy-driven lender EBRD must above all be convinced there is a good business case for a project in which it will invest

  4. 1. EBRD’s Priorities • EBRD’s projects are typically focussed on only one country • EBRD may finance one link in a larger transport chain … • but there must be a good business case for the project on a “stand-alone” basis.

  5. 2. EBRD and the transport Sector So EBRD can contribute to building improved transport linkages by: • providing finance for projects with a good business case • helping to promote transition at a sector level.
