Today we signed an LOI confirming the TaiwanBusiness–EBRD Technical Cooperation Fund’s support for our new work in Sub-Saharan Africa. We're very grateful for our Taiwanese #EBRDdonors and their trust in our shared mission. @Taiwan_in_UK, @BowmanEBRD, @ebrdcamilla

@JohnPrideaux It was great to hear Philipp Howard in the podcast this week. You should have him more often. Also, why does Charlotte say Mandani and not Mamdani? Is she a Cuomo fan?? Same for Zanny..its not so difficult..you guys are rhe liberal bunch..

Rather gripping that the US Treasury might turn a small profit on its support for Argentina economist.com/the-americas/2…

Thank you to Italy, @MEF_GOV, for the contribution of €1.5M to the Ukraine FIRST Cooperation Fund! These resources will help Ukraine recover, strengthen resilience and support sustainable development, building on Italy’s previous commitments. #EBRDdonors

First Vice Minister Kim Byoung-hwan signed a letter of intent on the #EBRD's Crisis Response Special Fund (#CRSF) worth $50 million with Jurgen Rigterink, Vice President of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (@EBRD), on February 6.

Our partnership with @moefkorea_eng has been strengthened further after its latest commitment of USD50 million for #SupportingUkraine. The Republic of Korea has been one of our #EBRDdonors since 1993 and has emerged as a key partner in recent years. @JRigterink

From strength to strength with our #EBRDdonors! Our @BowmanEBRD and @Taiwan_in_UK representative Kelly Wu-Chiao Hsieh signed a €4m contribution today in our HQ. With Taiwanese support, we're making our regions safer, greener and more inclusive.

Delighted to be @DutchMFA in The Hague today with @JRigterink and @PMGrotenhuis marking the strong collaboration with The Netherlands 🇳🇱 & @EBRD. The Netherlands has been a leading #EBRDdonor in support of Ukraine 🇺🇦from food security, vital infrastructure and energy security.

Building #ClimateResilience in development planning requires a collaborative approach, wonderful to see the CIF’s unique multi-MDB partnership model in action! 🌱 @EBRD @EBRDGreen @CIF_Action #climatefinance wrld.bg/imUA50PHJnP

Lax rules and poor monitoring inflate #cookstove offset benefits, generating fake #CarbonCredits. When projects claim very high numbers buyers should ask hard questions, says SEI’s @rob_bailis. By @m_civillini via @ClimateHome buff.ly/47KR48N

@ChinaGSProject @stadenesque Thank you for the lengthy coverage of this topic. I didn't hear you mention the Contingent Reserve Arrangement when discussing NDB. Pls touch upon it in future.
