While €91.97 million euros will actually be disbursed, the remainder will constitute reserves for exchange rate fluctuations.
Given the EBRD’s business model, each euro of additional capital will generate approximately six euros of loans. As a result, Ukraine will benefit from capitalization to the tune of some €24 billion in total until 2032.
