a total of 97 distinct initiatives. The allocation of resources
within the portfolio is predominantly skewed towards sustainable

euros, accounting for 16 percent, while the corporate sector trails
with an allocation of 38 million euros, or 11 percent.
Since the accession of Kyrgyzstan to the EBRD on June 2, 1992, the
nation has reaped the rewards of 277 initiatives, culminating in
aggregate investments totaling €1.07 billion. The financial
institution's initiatives in Kyrgyzstan are centered around
catalyzing sustainable economic development, bolstering the
operational capacity of SMEs, optimizing public utility performance
metrics, fortifying the financial ecosystem, and advancing
essential infrastructure frameworks.
