The EABR will allocate $13.5 billion to new projects in its member countries by 2031

The Eurasian Development Bank intends to allocate $13.5 billion to finance new projects in its member countries from 2027 to 2031. Nikolai Podguzov, Chairman of the EDB’s Management Board, announced this at the bank’s Annual Meeting and Business Forum in Almaty.

According to him, the new five-year investment plan will be the largest in the bank’s history and will exceed the investment volume stipulated in the current development strategy by 10–15%.

“For the next period, we have planned an investment volume of $13.5 billion for 2027–2031,” Podguzov stated.

He noted that the EDB has already fulfilled its investment plan for 2022–2026, as outlined in the previous strategy, ahead of schedule. Instead of the planned $10.9 billion, the bank expects to conclude the current period with a total investment volume of approximately $12 billion.

The priorities of the new strategy will remain projects in the energy sector, transportation infrastructure, logistics, food security, and high-value-added industries.

This expansion of the investment program reflects the bank’s intention to increase financing for key sectors of the member states’ economies and to maintain its focus on developing major regional infrastructure projects.
