European Investment Bank

The European Investment Bank is the lending institution of the European Union, established to provide long-term finance for capital investment that furthers EU policy objectives. Headquartered in Luxembourg, the bank is owned by the 27 member states of the European Union, with each country holding a stake proportional to its economic weight within the bloc. The EIB operates both within the EU and in partner countries around the world, supporting projects in infrastructure, innovation, climate action, small and medium-sized enterprises and sustainable development. It is one of the largest multilateral lenders globally, with an annual lending volume typically exceeding €50-billion. The bank's mandate includes promoting economic cohesion, environmental sustainability and the transition to a low-carbon economy. Outside the EU, the EIB finances projects in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean, often focusing on sectors such as energy, transport, water and critical minerals supply chains. Lending decisions are guided by EU policy priorities, including the European Green Deal and the Global Gateway infrastructure initiative. The European Investment Bank was established in 1958 under the Treaty of Rome and has since grown into a key instrument of EU development and investment policy.
