Remaining steadfast in a challenging environment

Interview with Thomas Mirow, EBRD President. The financial crisis of 2008-09 has had a major impact in the EBRD's countries of operations in central and eastern Europe and threatens the significant progress made in the last two decades. These countries face limited availability of commercial lending, private equity, public and state funding.

Today the EBRD is needed more than ever. It has responded to the financial crisis by sharply increasing its investments in 2009 and working closely with IFIs and partners to find practical, efficient and timely solutions.
