EIB – EBRD – World Bank Group: Joint IFI Action Plan Launched at the very height of the economic crisis, initially pledging EUR 24.5 billion over a two-year period. The sharply higher outturn reflected the IFIs’ dynamic response to the fact that the crisis in this region was deeper than initially expected and the recovery was much more protracted.
EIB – EBRD – World Bank Group: Joint IFI Action Plan Just as important as the pure financial contribution of the action plan was its role in helping the coordination of national support packages and policy dialogue involving other key stakeholders in the region and in close cooperation with the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the European Commission, and other key European institutions.
EIB – EBRD – World Bank Group: Joint IFI Action Plan The unprecedented level of cooperation made a key contribution to restoring market confidence in the Central and Eastern European banking system when it was at particularly low ebb and illustrated the important counter-cyclical role played by the IFIs during the financial crisis.
EIB – EBRD – World Bank Group: Joint IFI Action Plan This successful format for cooperation initially designed for crisis-hit emerging Europe, should be replicated in the future and could be applied in other circumstances and in other regions that face challenges in transforming their financial sectors, reviving lending, and increasing employment. The benefits of close IFI cooperation and coordination during the crisis should be preserved.
EIB – EBRD – World Bank Group: Joint IFI Action Plan As growth resumes, the challenge is now to ensure that it is sustainable. Credit plays a vital role in private-sector led growth that should create employment. Ensuring sustainable lending is therefore a priority. The three IFIs will maintain their effort to support lending to the region in the future.
