The European Investment Bank (EIB), the European Union's (EU) bank, is mobilising a second tranche of €500 million (approximately 5.4 billion dirhams) as part of its €1 billion commitment to the reconstruction of the High Atlas regions affected by the earthquake of 8 September 2023. Gathered on Friday, 5 June 2026 at the Moroccan Ministry of Economy and Finance in Rabat, the Kingdom of Morocco, the EIB and the European Union marked the programme’s transition into its large-scale deployment phase. Guaranteed by the EU, this financing supports the reconstruction programme led by the Moroccan authorities.

A range of Bulgarian businesses will be eligible for around €340 million in financing under a new agreement between the European Investment Bank (EIB) Group and Allianz Bank Bulgaria. The accord enables Allianz Bank Bulgaria to increase loans for Bulgarian small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as well as Mid-Cap companies by shifting credit risk to the EIB Group – a transaction known as a synthetic securitisation.

The European Investment Bank (EIB) will work with the Department of Transport and Transport Infrastructure Ireland to supercharge Ireland's public electric vehicle (EV) charging rollout, partnering with Zero Emission Vehicles Ireland (ZEVI) to design and deliver a nationwide network that will put a charging point within reach of every community.
