The European Investment Bank’s operations in Asia

EIB lending in Asia began in 1993 and is governed by the Asia and Latin America (ALA) mandate from the European Union. Under the current mandate (ALA IV), covering the period 2007-2013, the EIB is authorised to lend up to EUR 3.8 billion for financing operations in ALA, of which an indicative sub-ceiling of EUR 1.0 billion has been set for projects in 18 Asian partner countries. There are no amounts allocated per country or sector.
