Explanatory notes
1. Establishment of the Bank
i Agreement Establishing the Bank
The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development ("the Bank"), whose principal office is located in London, is an international organisation formed under the Agreement Establishing the EBRD dated 29 May 1990 ("the Agreement"). At 31 March 2025, the Bank's shareholders comprised 75 countries, together with the European Union and the European Investment Bank.
ii Headquarters Agreement
The status, privileges and immunities of the Bank and persons connected with the Bank in the United Kingdom are defined in the Agreement and in the Headquarters Agreement between the Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the Bank ("Headquarters Agreement"). The Headquarters Agreement was signed in London upon the commencement of the Bank's operations on 15 April 1991.
2. A summary of significant accounting policies
i Basis of preparation
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income, financial assets and financial liabilities held at fair value through profit or loss and all derivative contracts. In addition, financial assets and liabilities subject to amortised cost measurement which form part of a qualifying hedge relationship have been accounted for in accordance with hedge accounting rules.
ii Financial statements presentation
The financial statements are presented in a manner consistent with the Bank's audited financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024.
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and the results of operations for the period have been made, and the significant assumptions used in making accounting estimates are reasonable. The estimates made in these interim financial statements consider all known relevant and material information available at the time of their issuance as required by IFRS, and any contingent assets and liabilities have been disclosed in accordance with IFRS requirements. Management are not aware of any material deficiencies in either the design or operation of internal controls over financial reporting.
The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year ending 31 December 2025.

Fair Value Estimation Techniques
The Bank's balance sheet approximates to fair value in all financial asset and liability categories, with the exception of loan investments at amortised cost.
The amortised cost instruments held within placements with and advances to credit institutions, other financial assets, amounts owed to credit institutions, and other financial liabilities are all deemed to have amortised cost values approximating their fair value, being primary simple, short-term instruments. They are classified as having Level 2 inputs (see fair value hierarchy, below) as the Bank's assessment of their fair value is based on the observable market valuation of similar assets and liabilities.
The fair value of amortised cost debt securities is determined using Level 2 inputs, employing valuation techniques appropriate to the market and industry of each investment. The primary valuation techniques used are quotes from brokerage services and discounted cash flows. Techniques used to support these valuations include industry valuation benchmarks and recent transaction prices.
Banking loan investments whereby the objective of the Bank's business model is to hold these investments to collect the contractual cash flow, and the contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest, are recognised at amortised cost. The fair value of these loans was calculated using Level 3 inputs by discounting the cash flows at a year end interest rate applicable to each loan and further discounting the value by an internal measure of credit risk.

Debts evidenced by certificates represents the Bank's borrowings raised through the issuance of commercial paper and bonds. The fair value of the Bank's issued bonds is determined using discounted cash flow models and therefore relies on Level 3 inputs. Due to the short-tenor nature of commercial paper, amortised cost approximates fair value. The fair value of the Bank's issued commercial paper is determined based on the observable market valuation of similar assets and liabilities and therefore relies on Level 2 inputs.
Fair value hierarchy
IFRS 13 specifies classification of fair values on the basis of a three-level hierarchy of valuation methodologies. The classifications are determined based on whether the inputs used in the measurement of fair values are observable or unobservable. These inputs have created the following fair value hierarchy:
| ● | Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. This level includes listed share investments on stock exchanges and listed bonds classified as loans held at fair value through other comprehensive income. |
| ● | Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices). This level includes debt securities, most derivative products and listed share and bond investments valued using a quoted price but where there is no market sufficiently active to be included in Level 1. The sources of inputs include prices available from screen-based services such as SuperDerivatives and Bloomberg, broker quotes and observable market data such as interest rates and foreign exchange rates which are used in deriving the valuations of derivative products. |
| ● | Level 3 - Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). This level includes share investments and debt securities or derivative products for which not all market data is observable. |
The table below provides information at 31 March 2025 about the Bank's financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value. Financial assets and financial liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
