The European Investment Bank (EIB) Group will expand its support for Ukraine’s economy by strengthening critical energy infrastructure, facilitating access to financing for businesses and boosting trade with the EU. EIB Group President Nadia Calviño briefed European Union foreign ministers about the latest round of support measures at a meeting today in Brussels.
The adoption of the Strategic Roadmap follows several months of intensive engagement between President Calviño and EU governments, key partners and stakeholders, including dedicated discussions during the ECOFIN meetings in February and April.
The European Investment Bank Group (EIB Group) and the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Enterprise of Spain have signed a framework finance agreement to implement the Regional Resilience Fund (in Spanish Fondo de Resiliencia Autonómica). The Fund, led by the Ministry of the Economy and in which the Autonomous Communities will play a key role in the selection of projects to be financed, will spur environmental, and social investments in the Spanish Autonomous Communities, and will channel financing of the Next Generation EU loans under the Spanish Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan.
