Urban regeneration, green buildings and sustainable and inclusive tourism with links to the local economy are the priorities of the EBRD’s new strategy for the property and tourism sector, approved by the Bank’s Board of Directors.
In particular, the strategy will guide the Bank’s investments and policy work for the period 2020-24 with an emphasis on:
- managing and developing green and sustainable buildings
- investing in an inclusive and competitive hospitality and tourism sector
- promoting urban regeneration initiatives for more competitive, sustainable and greener cities
- supporting the diversification of funding sources for real estate development and ownership through capital markets, thereby facilitating the sector’s resilience.
From 2020-24 the Bank will target investments in commercial, logistics and residential real estate, as well as in hospitality and hotels. The EBRD regions have enormous potential which remains widely untapped and needs to be developed carefully and responsibly.
