EBRD's Trade Facilitation Programme
Your Partner in Financing Imports of Energy Efficient Technologies

Continuously increasing electricity and gas prices have created a vibrant demand for modern energy efficient technologies. Supply of these innovative technologies can be challenging, yet vital for your customers and the success of your business.
