The second volume of the history of the European Bank for
Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) takes up the story of how the
Bank has become an indispensable part of the international
financial architecture. It tracks the rollercoaster ride during
this period, including the Bank's crucial coordinating role in
response to global and regional crises, the calls for its presence
as an investor in Turkey, the Middle East and North Africa and
later Greece and Cyprus, as well as the consequences of conflicts
within its original region. It shows how in face of the growing
threat of global warming the EBRD, working mainly with the private
sector, developed a sustainable energy business model to tackle
climate change.Transforming Markets also examines how the EBRD
broadened its investment criteria, arguing that transition towards
sustainable economies requires market qualities that are not only
competitive and integrated but which are also resilient,
well-governed, green and more inclusive. This approach aligned with
the 2015 Paris Agreement and the international community's 2030
Agenda for Sustainable Development, with its core set of 17
sustainable development goals. The story of the EBRD's own
transition and rich history provides a route map for building the
sustainable markets necessary for future growth and prosperity.
After the Berlin Wall tells the inside story of an international
financial institution, the European Bank for Development and
Reconstruction (EBRD), created in the aftermath of communism to
help the countries of central and eastern Europe transition towards
open market-oriented democratic economies. The first volume of a
history in two parts, After the Berlin Wall charts the EBRD's life
from a fledgling high-risk, start-up investing in former socialist
countries from 1991 to become an established member of the
international financial community, which (as of April 2020)
operates in almost 40 countries across three continents. This
volume describes the multilateral negotiations that created this
cosmopolitan institution with a 'European character' and the
emergence of the EBRD's unique business model: a focus on the
private sector and a mission to deliver development impact with
sustainable financial returns. The author recounts the challenges
that 'transition' countries faced in moving from a defunct to a
better economic system and maps the EBRD's response to critical
events, from the dissolution of the Soviet Union, to the safe
confinement of the Chernobyl disaster site, the debt default in
Russia and the onset of the global financial crisis in 2008.
