The Eurasian Development Bank (EDB) has developed a database of non-sovereign financing, which consolidates investments from international financial organizations (IFOs) flowing into the countries of the Eurasian region.
The database covers operations of IFOs in the following countries: Azerbaijan, Armenia, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Russia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan.
Currently, the database contains information on 1,712 IFO operations in these countries from 2008 to 2023. The database allows for sorting and searching projects based on various parameters, including the recipient countries, names of IFOs and borrowers, funding sectors, project stages, volumes of financing in transaction currencies, and project results and environmental impacts.
The database will be updated quarterly and can be used for operational monitoring and analysis of non-sovereign financing in the region.
There are 11 IFOs operating in the region, 10 of which are multilateral development banks. The International Finance Corporation is a development financial institution.
Based on this database, EDB analysts have developed a dashboard—an interactive analytical panel for working with the data.
During the presentation of the database on December 6 in Almaty, EDB’s chief economist, Evgeny Vinokurov, mentioned that using the database and dashboard is very easy.
The Eurasian Development Bank is an international financial institution investing in Eurasia. For more than eighteen years, the Bank has worked to strengthen and expand economic ties and foster comprehensive development in its member countries – Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, and Tajikistan. The EDB's charter capital totals US$7 billion. Its portfolio mainly consists of projects with an integration effect in transport infrastructure, digital systems, green energy, agriculture, manufacturing, and mechanical engineering. The Bank’s operations are guided by the UN Sustainable Development Goals and ESG principles. The Eurasian Development Bank has observer status in the UN General Assembly.
