The results highlight Romania's growing capacity to attract investment and its commitment to green and private sector-led growth.
"This is our largest annual business volume on record in Romania since the EBRD began investing here in 1992 – a demonstration for the trust of our clients, the dedication of our team and the strength of Romania's economy," said Victoria Zinchuk, EBRD Director of Romania.
Green financing was central to the bank's work in the country. In 2025, 81% of EBRD investments in Romania were dedicated to the green economy, well above the bank's average across all regions. Projects signed during the year are expected to deliver annual CO₂ emissions reductions of over one million tonnes, reflecting Romania's alignment with EU climate and energy targets.
Among key green projects was the €192 million financing package signed in November for three solar plants - Slobozia, Corbii Mari and Iepurești II - with a combined 531 MW of new capacity and around 676 GWh of annual green electricity generation. Another notable transaction was a €180.3 million EBRD loan towards a €400.6 million financing package for a regeneration project in Romania's second city, Cluj-Napoca. The project will redevelop an industrial site into a combined retail, office, cultural and entertainment district.
The private sector share of the EBRD portfolio amounts to 86% of the total. The Romania results form part of a record year for the EBRD overall, with €16.8 billion total investment in 2025, up from €16.6 billion in 2024.
