We are delighted to announce the publication of the first volume of an online history of the EBRD -- 'After the Berlin Wall'.
This publication is not an official history of the Bank. Rather it was commissioned by EBRD President Suma Chakrabarti and written by EBRD alumnus, Andrew Kilpatrick.
'After the Berlin Wall' charts the EBRD’s life from a fledgling high-risk, start-up investing in former socialist countries from 1991 to become an established member of the international financial community, which today operates in almost 40 countries across three continents.
The book describes the multilateral negotiations that created the EBRD, recounts the challenges that ‘transition’ countries faced in moving from a defunct to a better economic system and maps the EBRD’s response to critical events, from the dissolution of the Soviet Union, to the safe confinement of the Chernobyl disaster site, the debt default in Russia and the onset of the global financial crisis in 2008.
It will be published by the Central European University (CEU) Press in Hungary and will be available to download on the 3 July from a dedicated site.
The special virtual launch event on 2 July – Suma’s last day as EBRD President - will feature a discussion between Suma Chakrabarti, Andrew Kilpatrick, and past and present staff of the Bank.
More details of the programme, speakers and how to join the virtual event will be available shortly on ebrd.com.
