KIEV, Jan. 17 (Xinhua) -- The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) invested over 1.1 billion euros (1.2 billion U.S. dollars) in the Ukrainian economy in 2019, a Ukrainian media outlet reported on Friday.

The investment is two times more than that in 2018, Novoe Vremya reported, citing Anton Usov, EBRD's senior adviser on external relations.

There were 680 million euros (755 million dollars) of the total investments in 2019 classified as green, said Usov on his Facebook page, calling it "the best result across all EBRD economies."

EBRD is the largest international financial investor in Ukraine. Since the start of its operations in the country in 1993, the bank has made a cumulative commitment of nearly 14.6 billion euros (16.9 billion dollars) across some 447 projects in Ukraine.
