In Seville, at the UN Finance for Development Conference, the message has been heard loud and clear: the international community will continue to work together for a multilateral system that delivers prosperity and peace.
The EIB, as financing arm of the EU, has brought to the table concrete solutions to today’s challenges.
We have signed cooperation agreements with UN agencies to improve our efficiency and impact in mobilising financing for development, as well as with other multilateral development banks active in Latin America and the Caribbean.
We have joined a broad alliance launched by Spain to include debt suspension clauses and give breathing space to most vulnerable countries hit by a climate or health shock.
We have reinforced our partnerships to support global health and sustainable agriculture, as well as businesses led by women and young people.
We brought together multilateral banks and the private sector to discuss concrete financial instruments to mobilise private investments, including through the new Global Emerging Markets database, to better inform investment decisions around the world.
And we presented Europe’s new science and innovation hub in Sevilla.
Elsewhere, we are taking forward housing solutions in European cities.
And finally, the president of the EIB Group Nadia Calviño addressed the graduates from the European School in Luxembourg. A bright and hopeful way to close the week.
