The Eurasian Development Bank (EDB) held EDB Investor Day in Abu Dhabi on November 10, bringing together more than 80 investors and representatives of government agencies, international financial institutions and business communities from the Gulf states and Central Asia. The bank presented the region’s economic potential, promising projects and EDB financial instruments for attracting international capital.
The event was one of the steps towards implementing the EDB’s new 2027–2031 Strategy. Its priorities include creating an “investment highway” between Central Asia and the Gulf states to connect international investors with projects in transport and logistics, energy, high-value-added manufacturing and other strategic sectors.
The event also marked the opening of an EDB office at Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM), an international financial centre. The ceremony was attended by UAE Deputy Minister of Finance Younis Haji AlKhoori and EDB Chairman Nikolai Podguzov. The office will support the development of the bank’s investment fund ecosystem, aimed at attracting international capital to Eurasia. The ecosystem will include the Central Asia and Caucasus Private Equity Fund (CACPEF), the Central Asia Development Investment Fund (CADIF) and Altaira Private Equity Fund.
