KIEV, Jan. 20 – The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development plans to boost investments in Ukraine in 2009, said Olivier Decamps, head of the bank’s Southeast Europe, Caucasus and Central Asia business group.

"Last year was a record for Ukraine: projects amounting to EUR 850 million were signed… We can say that we shall do more [this year]. As a long term partner, we are ready to face risks," he told the press in Kiev on Tuesday.
