Latvia and the EIB

We have supported energy efficiency projects and upgraded Riga's water and wastewater facilities. We have promoted sustainable growth in tourism and agriculture, supported thousands of small and medium-sized enterprises, and advanced the country's green transition.

Additionally, we have helped municipalities become more modern and environmentally friendly. In Riga, we also financed new public transport systems and the University of Latvia's new campus.
