The Solidarity Package of the European Investment Bank (EIB) consists of cohesion policy support to address the consequences of the Russian aggression against Ukraine. The EIB is primarily providing aid to EU Member States that are struggling with the migration crisis. It approved the €4 billion package in May 2022, with as much as €2 billion going to Poland as support for the Assistance Fund*. Thanks to the agreements signed by the EIB and BGK, Poland will now receive the second tranche amounting to €600 million (Poland has already received €1.2 billion in total). The money will go to municipalities, regions and public entities that are hosting and organising the integration of Ukrainian refugees.
The European Investment Bank Group (EIB Group), comprising the European Investment Bank (EIB) and the European Investment Fund (EIF), has strengthened the long-term co-operation with Santander Consumer Bank Group, a part of the Santander Group, by signing of a synthetic securitisation and new lending commitments with Santander Consumer Bank S.A. (SCB). This is the third capital relief transaction entered into between EIB Group and SCB, with the earlier transactions being a true sale securitisation executed in 2016 and a synthetic securitisation entered into in 2019.
The European Investment Bank (EIB) and SG Equipment Leasing Polska (SGEF Poland), a member of Société Générale Group, have signed an agreement aimed at accelerating the development of SMEs and Midcaps in Poland. The loan of EUR 100M will also facilitate the development of climate action projects, with a special focus on greenhouse gas reduction and low-carbon emissions. The financing includes support, for sustainable mobility, low carbon vehicles, low-emission industrial and agricultural machinery and renewable energy projects. Crucially, 80% of the investments will boost economic development in Poland’s cohesion regions.
