Overall, the interviews provided an opportunity to better understand both public and private financial institutions' perspective of the EE market opportunities and barriers. Personal interviews were conducted with representatives from the World Bank (WB), the International Finance Corporation (IFC), the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), as well as private financial institutions (JP Morgan, Deutsche Bank, Climate Change Capital etc.). They allowed gauging the relative importance of different challenges facing EE financing, i.e. access to capital vs. risk, or others.
