The European Investment Bank, one of the world’s largest multinational lenders, is the lending arm of the EU. We operate both inside the European Union and worldwide.
The majority of EIB lending is attributed to projects in EU Member States (about 90% of the total volume) supporting the continued development and integration of the Union.

As the EU bank, about 90% of our funding is directed towards promoting sustainable growth and job creation in the Member States.
