2019: EIB Group activity in Spain
- Feb 3, 2020
In 2019, the EIB Group (EIB and EIF) provided EUR 8.966bn for 92 operations in Spain, i.e. a 6% increase compared to the previous year. Spain was the second biggest EU beneficiary of EU bank financing, with this representing almost 0.7% of national GDP.
A large share (almost 30%) of this financing was dedicated to climate action, thereby helping to consolidate the EIB's position as the EU climate bank by promoting the use of renewable energies and energy efficiency investments in Spain. Support for SMEs continued to be another of the EIB Group's key priorities in the country.
