EBRD's Annual Meeting in Zagreb

By: James Bregman Web Manager

More than 2,000 people from all over the world are arriving in Zagreb, Croatia as the EBRD’s 19th Annual Meeting (AM) and Business Forum gets under way.

Participants will be able to assess the latest political, economic and social changes and business opportunities in the country and across our region of operations, as well as a chance to network and to enjoy the host country’s cultural programme.

The Bank’s shareholders will be making important decisions about the strategy of the EBRD for the coming years and how it can be best equipped to carry out its role. The Board of Governors’ sessions will be chaired by the EBRD Governor for France Christine Lagarde, who is also France’s Minister of Economy, Industry and Employment.

A further 19 country presentations will give the Bank’s countries of operations a chance to articulate current investment opportunities. In parallel with the official AM programme, the EBRD and Croatia will co-host an informal meeting of heads of government of South-Eastern Europe on 14 May. The meeting is held in the format of the South East Europe Cooperation Process, which includes Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, FYR Macedonia, Greece, Moldova, Montenegro, Romania, Serbia, and Turkey.
