About the European Investment Bank 

With a EUR600 billion balance sheet, the European Investment Bank Group is the financing arm of the European Union and one of the largest multilateral development banks in the world. Building on its robust balance sheet, triple-A rating, strong risk management and profitable business model, the EIB mobilises public and private investment at scale. Every year, the EIB channels annual earnings into reserves, enabling the whole Group to leverage its own resources and public guarantees to raise funds in financial markets and provide long-term loans, guarantees and capital for projects and companies that build a stronger Europe in a safer, more prosperous world. A key implementing partner of the European Commission, the EIB Group mobilises EU budget guarantees, instruments and mandates. It is active in every corner of the European Union and in more than 160 countries across the world. Each euro of EU funding backed by the EIB Group mobilises EUR15 of investment, making a difference where it matters most - in projects with impact that people can feel and partners can trust.
