Back in Luxembourg, this week the Boards of the European Investment Bank Group approved 10 billion euros in new financing to accelerate Europe’s energy transition and reinforce its strategic autonomy at a critical time.
They also supported progress made in building a strong pipeline of projects across the value chain of critical raw materials, in Europe and beyond, and approved new investments in security and defence.
We also celebrated the recent awards to the European Investment Bank Group as a leader in the securitisation market.
This week we signed new investments for an underwater electricity cable between Malta and Sicily, the extension of a suburban train line in Barcelona and energy security and deep tech across Europe.
With the European Commission, we agreed a new financing package for Ukraine’s reconstruction.
And finally, the EIB will lead the Global Green Bond Initiative to mobilise private finance for sustainable infrastructures around the world.
