The first volume of a history in two parts, after the Berlin Wall charts the EBRD's life from a fledgling high-risk, start-up investing in former socialist countries from 1991 to become an established member of the international financial community, which (as of April 2020) operates in almost 40 countries across three continents. This volume describes the multilateral negotiations that created this cosmopolitan institution with a 'European character' and the emergence of the EBRD's unique business model : a focus on the private sector and a mission to deliver development impact with sustainable financial returns. The author recounts the challenges that 'transition' countries faced in moving from a defunct to a better economic system and maps the EBRD's response to critical events, from the dissolution of the Soviet Union, to the safe confinement of the Chernobyl disaster site, the debt default in Russia and the onset of the global financial crisis in 2008"--$cProvided by publisher. 517 $aAfter the Berlin Wall 606 $aInvestment banking$zEurope$xHistory 607 $aEurope$xEconomic conditions$y1945- 615 0$aInvestment banking$xHistory. 676 $a330.94055 700 $aKilpatrick$b Andrew$01023479 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910688434203321 996 $aAfter the Berlin Wall$92431504 997 $aUNINA
