Regional Context
The Europe and Central Asia (ECA) region comprises 30 extremely diverse countries, with a population of nearly 500 million people.
Although 10 of our clients have joined the EU and 7 of these have graduated, most continue to remain active recipients of knowledge and/or lending services.
ECA has a substantial lending pipeline as well as a portfolio of Reimbursable Advisory Services (RAS), concentrated primarily in a few countries.
Knowledge is critical to the Bank's value proposition to client countries in the ECA region in both lending and advisory services.
A predominantly middle-income region, ECA's slow growth and persistently high unemployment have threatened to reverse the region's achievements in reducing poverty and increasing shared prosperity.
The region continues to struggle with multiple structural weaknesses, including high public debt burdens, tight fiscal space, low investment, and financial sector vulnerabilities.
The Russian invasion of Ukraine, geopolitical tensions, rise in prices and energy costs pose further challenges to the region's economic prospects.
In addition, the ECA region is highly vulnerable to climate change.The region has a large potential to strengthen resilience to climate change and also to improve energy efficiency, thereby reducing its contribution to climate change.
Other important challenges affecting the region include poor governance, closed borders, diverse fragility risks related to regional tensions, frozen conflicts, and domestic instability in some geopolitically important countries.
In view of these challenges, the ECA regional strategy is based on three pillars: (i) Sustainable and Inclusive Growth; (ii) Human Capital; and (iii) Resilience.
Under the first pillar, the WBG supports reform programs and investments to improve government efficiency and service delivery, market creation, financial stability and connectivity for growth.
Under the second pillar of Human Capital, ECA supports programs for social inclusion, especially for unemployed youth and disadvantaged communities such as the Roma; meeting the challenge of protecting the most vulnerable, and responding to aging and health challenges.
The third pillar prioritizes climate action and building resilience to natural disasters, and facing the challenge of displaced populations.The EECG2 Unit covers three country management units (CMUs) in
ECA:
Turkey, the Western Balkans and the EU countries.
The EECG2 portfolio includes lending instruments (PforR, IPF-DLI, IPF), Trust Funds (TFs), Advisory Services and Analytics (ASA), and Reimbursable Advisory Services (RAS).
