The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development plans to invest a record 7 billion euros (8.8 billion dollars) in Central and Eastern Europe in 2009 to help the region weather a global economic slump.

The bank increased its earlier spending plan for 2009 by more than 1 billion euros, or almost 20%, the London- based lender said in an e-mailed statement today, reports LETA/BLOOMBERG.

 

The EBRD was created in 1991 to invest in former communist countries from the Balkans to Asia to help them to transform their economies.
