The European Investment Bank (EIB) and European Investment Fund (EIF), which make up the EIB Group, announced agreements with Bulgarian partners in Sofia to bolster the domestic economy and the country’s carbon neutrality goal.
Lending in Bulgaria in 2023 by the European Investment Bank Group (EIB Group) - made up of the European Investment Bank (EIB) and the European Investment Fund (EIF) - more than doubled from the previous year, to €1.11 billion. The new financing is expected to mobilise investment of over €5.4 billion and support a more technologically advanced, green and resilient economy.
The European Investment Bank (EIB) has signed a €40 million loan to the Austrian-registered Eldrive Holding GmbH to install 8 472 electric vehicle (EV) charging stations in Bulgaria, Lithuania and Romania over the next three years. The project supports clean mobility and the EU Green Deal goals for sustainable transport and decarbonisation.
