Poland: Second tranche of bonds issued from the EIB’s Solidarity Package under an agreement between the EIB and the Bank Gospodarstwa Krajowego (BGK)
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.
