The Green Trade Facilitation Programme (TFP) was set up in 2016 to promote investments that improve sustainability and deliver environmental benefits across the economies where the EBRD invests. By combining short-term finance instruments supported by the TFP with medium-term and long-term investment financing through Green Economy Financing Facilities, our partner banks can finance the export, import and local distribution of high-performance green technologies and materials.

Under the Green TFP, guarantees are provided to international commercial banks to cover the risks of transactions undertaken by participating banks. Since 2016 the EBRD has supported more than €2.6 billion in green trade financing, with more than 1,750 transactions in 27 countries across south-eastern Europe, Central Asia, eastern Europe and the Caucasus, and the southern and eastern Mediterranean (SEMED).
