I'm back in Kyiv and was very pleased to see @Denys_Shmyhal today and commit to mobilising €300 million of additional funding to boost #Ukraine’s energy security, this in response to Russia's latest attacks on its infrastructure.

Proud to support the advancement of gender equality in #BiH! We're helping BiH to promote the employment of women engineers. Creating economic opportunities for women is not just a gender issue; it's an economic priority for the country. @‌EU_near, @thewbif

As we near the second anniversary of Russia’s full-scale invasion, I want to reaffirm @EBRD’s commitment to support #Ukraine on the economic front of this war. We've deployed €4 billion there over the last two years and more support is on the way. #SupportingUkraine

👇A really historic decision for @EBRD! Whilst this will help us continue our investments in Ukraine, the additional capital will also increase our firepower in the #WesternBalkans one of the priority regions of the Bank. In 2023 we invested €1.7 billion across the #WB6.
Our shareholders have approved a resolution to increase @EBRD’s paid-in capital by €4 billion, bringing our capital base to €34 billion. The increase will enable us to deliver more and become an even stronger Bank – a stronger Bank for Ukraine, for all our economies & clients.

Our financing in Ukraine reaches €1.2 billion in 2023, as @OdileRenaud paid her 3rd wartime visit to Kyiv & met @ZelenskyyUa, government and business leaders. We’re stepping up engagement in Ukraine and expect to sustain high levels of support in the future. #SupportingUkraine

In #BiH only 37% of women are active in the labour force. It's a problem for society, economic development, #privatesector and #qualityoflife ! With skills shortages and emigration #BiH needs to support women (and men) to be able to balance #carework, family & work. @EBRDgender
It is time to value care work! Join us next week as we present the results of the Baseline study on #careeconomy in BiH and discuss solutions on how to transform this area in BiH.
