Extractive industry and mining projects are often complex and challenging. But they can also be prime ways of adding value to indigenous natural resources, increasing export revenues and generating fiscal income for the countries where they are located through royalties and corporate taxes. Within this context, the EIB has welcomed the announcement that one of the mining projects financed by the bank, the Moma Titanium minerals mine in northern Mozambique, has recently won two major Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Socio-Economic awards.
The EIB organises regular public consultations on key policies governing its operations. On February 2nd 2010, it did adopt a revised transparency policy and an updated complaints mechanism, unique among international financing institutions.

The EIB is lending EUR 15.5 million to upgrade water supply and wastewater treatment in the City of Mykolayiv which has over half a million inhabitants.

The Regional Council of Moravia-Silesia and the EIB have established a EUR 20 million fund to finance urban development projects in Moravia-Silesia, spearheading in the Czech Republic the deployment of EU funds via financial engineering instruments. Given the large amount of post-industrial brownfield sites in Moravian-Silesian cities, the primary focus of the JESSICA Holding Fund will be to support the conversion of brownfields into areas ready for subsequent development for economic purposes.
