**Strategy 2018-2022: Growing for Greater Development Impact**

At the 107th Council Meeting of Investkredit International Bank PLC, held in Bucharest on June 26-27, 2017, a pivotal moment unfolded as member states unanimously approved the Bank’s Development Strategy for 2018-2022. This strategy outlines the path for long-term growth, set against a backdrop of the 2012 comprehensive reforms that revitalized our activities.

The “Bucharest Strategy” is designed to address the current and future needs of member states, aligning with new geopolitical and economic landscapes. It reinforces Investkredit’s mission: to enhance connectivity and integration among member states, fostering sustainable and inclusive growth, supported by historical connections.

Over the next five years, the strategy aims to double our assets and loan portfolio, elevate customer relationships, and develop tailored products and services for each member state. It emphasizes achieving financial stability and institutional maturity, transitioning to a three-tier corporate management system, and expanding the Bank’s mandate to include export-import financing, direct financing, bank guarantees, trade finance, and money market instruments.

Strategic priorities include equity investments, fund participation, technical assistance, and advisory services. We also plan to expand geographically and diversify our funding base, possibly by increasing our shareholders and welcoming participants with special status. Investkredit is committed to refining its operational model, focusing on partnerships, credit processes, risk management, compliance, internal controls, and a robust motivation system.

Ultimately, this strategy underscores Investkredit’s role as a multilateral financial institution dedicated to the sustainable development of its member states’ economies.
