A €100 million (CZK 2.5bn) European Investment Bank (EIB) loan to MONETA will increase economic opportunities for small and mid-sized businesses in Czechia. At least 12% of the loan will be allocated to projects with a positive impact on the climate or the environment. In addition, MONETA has committed to doubling this allocation: it will offer over CZK 700 million to entrepreneurs and small businesses to finance their sustainable business projects in the near future.
The European Investment Bank (EIB) is providing a framework loan of €500 million to Evonik, the second largest chemical company in Germany and one of the largest worldwide. The loan will be used to finance European research and development activities at the company, which firmly integrated sustainability into all elements of its corporate strategy in 2022.
The European Investment Bank Group (EIB Group) — made up of the European Investment Bank (EIB) and the European Investment Fund (EIF) — invested €1.88 billion in the Czech Republic in 2023. The financing will support regional development and boost economic resilience while also making the country greener and improving the quality of life for its people.
