The Eurasian Development Bank (EDB) announced plans to allocate $13.5 billion to projects in its member countries as part of its strategy for 2027–2031, according to Chairman Nikolay Podguzov at a business forum marking the bank's 20th anniversary. This represents a 10–15% increase over the previous strategy, with potential growth up to 20%. Podguzov noted that the bank has already surpassed its 2022–2026 investment target of $10.9 billion, with investments projected to reach $12 billion by the end of this year. The final distribution of funds among member states will be determined after new country strategies are approved in October–November.
