Two wars and high borrowing costs have trimmed expected growth in countries covered by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), the bank said in a semi-annual report released on Wednesday. The EBRD, which covers economic trends across emerging Europe, central Asia, the Middle East and Africa, still expects economic growth of 3% across the 40 or so countries it covers, above 2.5% in 2023. "The sad news is that our countries of operation are now affected by a fallout of not one, but two wars: the war in Ukraine and the war in Gaza."
