The Board of Governors of the European Investment Bank (EIB), comprised of European Union Finance Ministers, endorsed the Bank’s strategy to deliver on shared policy priorities, with increased financing and risk appetite, deploying its full potential to mobilise investments for energy autonomy, technological leadership and security and defence.

The Boards of Directors of the European Investment Bank (EIB) Group approved €7.9 billion in new financing to strengthen Europe’s technological leadership, critical infrastructure and global partnerships.

The European Investment Bank (EIB) signed two new financing operations of €100 million each with the Development and Investment Bank of Türkiye (TKYB) and Türk Eximbank. The two banks will on-lend the funds to Turkish small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and mid-caps for renewable energy and energy efficiency investments. The EIB financing will support projects that reduce emissions of greenhouse gases, strengthen supply chains and energy security, enhance climate resilience, and create new green jobs in Türkiye.
