Description
Since its creation, the EIB has lent almost EUR 120bn to 1 600 large-scale investment projects and hundreds of thousands of SMEs in France. Having increased their financing in France from EUR 4.6bn in 2012 to EUR 8.7bn in 2015, the EIB and EIF have established themselves as a powerful anti-cyclical force serving employment and competitiveness across the country.
This brochure presents a region by region "tour de France" and illustrates the EIB Group’s strong involvement in an array of projects touching on multiple aspects of the daily lives of French people: jobs, transport, energy and water supply, housing, health and so on.
