Taipei China has provided vital support to the EBRD since 1991, providing €263 million in donor funds for technical cooperation projects and investment co-financing.

€263 million

Donor funds

The TaiwanBusiness – EBRD Technical Cooperation Fund is supporting the Bank’s technical cooperation projects in sustainable resource management, the knowledge economy, lower carbon technologies and SME development (including Advice for Small Business and Women in Business programmes). Taipei China is also providing financing through various multi-donor funds such as the Sustainable Infrastructure Fund (SIF), the SEMED Multi-Donor Account, the Eastern Europe Energy Efficiency and Environment Partnership (E5P) Fund, and the Small Business Impact Fund.

Taipei China also provides contributions via its aid agency, TaiwanICDF, to EBRD’s concessional financing instruments to support lending institutions for on-lending to MSMEs and to co-finance loans in the agribusiness sector. TaiwanICDF is strongly committed to green energy, and has been collaborating with the EBRD to help countries adopt a greater use of renewable energy and produce fewer emissions by providing concessional financing through the High-Impact Partnership for Climate Action (HIPCA).

The EBRD works closely with banks from Taipei China involved in the Trade Facilitation Programme, through which the EBRD guarantees the payment of trade finance instruments (such as letters of credit or payment guarantees) that are issued by banks in countries where we work to foreign confirming banks. Since inception, the TFP has supported 111 export and import transactions for Taiwanese companies for a total €32.94 million, for transactions which were initiated by banks in the EBRD countries of operation and confirmed by banks in both Taipei China and abroad. Twelve banks and branches in Taipei China have joined the programme as Confirming Banks (all figures as at December 2022).

From 2018 to 2022, entities from Taipei China won 93 consultancy contracts worth €2,413,068.00.
