Donor funding
Taipei China has a long-standing cooperation with the EBRD, with its first technical cooperation (TC) fund established in 1991. It has contributed over €24 million for technical cooperation, which is now channelled through the TaiwanBusiness – EBRD Cooperation Fund. By December 2011, 266 technical cooperation (TC) projects worth over €20 million had been implemented, mainly in the energy efficiency sector, particularly through urban transport.
Taipei China has also contributed US$ 1.5 million to the EBRD Balkan Region Special Fund (BRSF), €1 million to the Mongolia Cooperation Fund (MCF) and €2 million to the Early Transition Countries Fund (ETC) Fund. In 1994 the International Cooperation and Development Fund (TaiwanICDF), Taipei China’s agency responsible for foreign assistance programmes, extended US$ 20 million for co‑financing projects in the EBRD countries of operations.

In 1994 the EBRD and the International Cooperation and Development Fund (TaiwanICDF), the bilateral executing agency of Taipei China’s foreign assistance programme, signed a memorandum of understanding of US$ 20 million for co-financing. TaiwanICDF has co-financed the Belarus SME/MSE Credit-line (US$ 7.5 million) and a number of private-sector SME projects through the EBRD’s Financial Intermediary Investment Special Fund (FIISF) for an amount of US$ 10.6 million for projects in Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kyrgyz Republic, Lithuania and Romania. This account is now closed following a successful implementation.

TaiwanICDF provided further funding in 2005 under the above FIISF for an additional US$ 10 million for small businesses, and is co-financing microlending and a non-bank micro financing projects mainly in the Early Transition Countries. In 2006, an additional US$ 5 million was provided for the risk sharing facility for the Bank’s Trade Facilitation Programme in Azerbaijan, Russian Federation and Ukraine. In 2008, a further US$ 10 million was provided to extend their assistance to small businesses through FIISF, and the resources are supporting a number of investments in Turkey. In 2011, TaiwanICDF signed an agreement to provide US$ 80 million for concessional financing to support the Bank’s municipal and environmental infrastructure projects in the field of energy efficiency and green technology, and additional resources in the amount of US$ 20 million to support small business lending, making Taipei China the largest donor in 2011.
 
Enterprise Growth Programme (EGP)
Since 1998, Taipei China has provided about €1.38 million to fund 21 EGP projects in Armenia, Azerbaijan, Croatia, Georgia, Hungary, Kyrgyz Republic, Moldova, Mongolia, Russia, Serbia and Ukraine in the areas of manufacturing, agribusiness, electronics and IT.
 
Business Advisory Services (BAS)

Taipei China has provided €270,000 to support the Women in Business Programme in Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia.  The programme promotes women entrepreneurship and has financed over 40 seminars, workshops and training courses for businesswomen.

Adding in further investment from other countries and sources, the total value of projects with Taiwanese-EBRD involvement was €3.69 billion. The majority of these deals were in the private sector.

Broken down by industry, joint Taipei China-EBRD investments have been €806 million in financial institutions and €371 million in industry, commerce and agribusiness and €13 million in infrastructure.

Since the start of the Programme in 1999, the TFP has guaranteed more than 11,629 transactions worth over €7.2 billion, including 82 export and import transactions of Taipei China in the total amount of €20.5 million.
