Prime Minister @Mohamedshia met at his residence in London, a delegation from the @EBRD, headed by the bank’s President, @OdileRenaud.
The Prime Minister expressed his appreciation for the bank members’ approval of Iraq’s accession in October of last year. He highlighted the importance of partnership with the EBRD, particularly as it involves collaboration across multiple sectors that the government has prioritized in its program.
The Prime Minister emphasized that the government has several key projects where the bank’s financing could play a significant role, particularly in vital infrastructure such as roads, bridges, and public transportation, especially in conflict-affected areas. He also highlighted the request for technical assistance from the bank to enhance and develop Iraq’s banking sector. Furthermore, he underscored the importance of the bank’s president visiting Iraq to explore potential opportunities for collaboration.
رئيس مجلس الوزراء السيد محمد شياع السوداني يستقبل بمقر إقامته في لندن وفد البنك الأوروبي لإعادة الإعمار والتنمية/ EBRD، برئاسة رئيسة البنك السيدة أوديل رينو باسو .
وعبر سيادته عن تقديره لموافقة اعضاء البنك على انضمام العراق إليه في شهر تشرين الأول من العام الماضي، مؤكدا أهمية الشراكة مع البنك، خصوصاً وأنها تتضمن التعاون في قطاعات عديدة وضعتها الحكومة ضمن أولويات برنامجها الحكومي.
وأكد السيد رئيس مجلس الوزراء أن الحكومة لديها الكثير من المشاريع التي يمكن أن يسهم البنك في تمويلها، منها مشاريع البنية الأساسية الحيوية كالطرق والجسور ووسائل النقل العام، وخاصة في المناطق المتضررة من الصراع، وكذلك طلب المساعدة الفنية من البنك لتعزيز القطاع المصرفي في العراق وتطويره، مشيراً إلى أهمية أن يزور رئيس البنك العراق لاستكشاف فرص التعاون المحتملة.

We proudly signed a US$ 15 million Green Economy Financing Facility to @TheHousingBank in Jordan, with #EBRDdonors @EUinJordan and @theGCF.
This financing will help extend on-lending to #MSMEs and promote investment in climate change mitigation and adaptation projects.

With the eyes of the world on Israel and Gaza, I can confirm that @EBRD continues to support private businesses across the West Bank, while continuing to apply our rigorous standards.
We mourn the loss of all innocent lives in this conflict and hope for its peaceful resolution.

At today’s #Lebanon conference a year after #BeirutBlast I pledged @ebrd’s continued support for the country.
It has much promise and many unique qualities, including a strong entrepreneurial culture.
To capitalise on this, key next steps will be IMF-led reforms.

This year our Governors also elected our new President @OdileRenaud, the first woman head of a Multilateral Development Bank.

Call with @EBRD’s staff in #Lebanon to salute their extraordinary resilience! Many felt the impact directly! Focus is on how EBRD can best contribute to the reconstruction efforts / support the people. And I hope the country finally comes together to agree on much-needed reforms!

🏙️ Cities consume over two-thirds of the world’s energy and account for more than 70% of global CO2 emissions. We must act now to mitigate and adapt to changing climate.
💚Our EBRD #GreenCities is doing just that and is changing people's lives for the better #LDNClimateAction
