In Rome, we have joined many international partners at the Ukraine Recovery Conference to show our unwavering support to the country.
We have signed ten agreements to provide a pan-European guarantee to export credit agencies and support SMEs exporting to Ukraine, together with an important financing agreement close to €600 million to finance key critical infrastructures in the areas of energy and transport.
Support to Ukraine was also at the centre of this week's ECOFIN meeting, where we had the opportunity to brief ministers about the contribution of the EIB to Europe's savings and Investment Union, including through the TechEU programme to provide bigger, faster, simpler financing for Europe's innovators.
The European Parliament expressed strong support for the EIB strategic roadmap.
And we had the opportunity to exchange views on Europe's priorities with Belgian Prime Minister Bart De Wever and Finance Minister Jambon, together with some of the key projects in the country, such as the Princess Elizabeth energy island.
While in Rome, we signed a very important €1 billion financing agreement for the Adriatic interconnector, contributing to the country's energy security.
And finally, EIB Group colleagues are putting on their running shoes and joining the Luxembourg Pride Run. They are running for our shared European values. Most importantly, respect.
