In 2022, the EIB and the EIF, which together make up the EIB Group, made almost €2.7 billion in financing available to Belgian projects. Just over €2.3 billion came from the EIB and almost €335 million from the EIF, the group subsidiary devoted exclusively to SME financing. Supporting such businesses still grappling with the consequences of the health crisis was one of the top priorities, as was backing climate action projects. For example, the EIB signed a new tranche of financing with Fluvius for infrastructure investments, which include adapting distribution networks for the electrification of public buses.
