The European Investment Bank Group (EIB Group), which comprises the European Investment Bank (EIB) and the European Investment Fund (EIF) held an event today in Madrid entitled Four decades of shared prosperity: The EIB Group in Spain
The event marked the 40th anniversary of Spain’s accession to the EU (which, in 1986, was known as the European Community) and celebrated the positive impact that EIB Group financing and investment have had on the transformation of the country and the lives of millions of people. Over the course of the day, various representatives from public and private institutions also offered insights into Spain’s role in the EU and the current challenges facing the European project.
