The Board of Governors discussed and approved three resolutions. The first detailed the Bank’s support for Ukraine, including through a potential capital increase. The second gave the formal go-ahead for a limited expansion of EBRD activities to certain countries in sub-Saharan Africa, and the addition of Iraq to the Bank’s southern and eastern Mediterranean region.
