Since its establishment in 1958, the EU bank has invested over a trillion euros. While climate action is a part of everything we do, our activities focus on the following eight core strategic priorities:

  • climate action,
  • digitalisation and technological innovation,
  • Security and defence,
  • a modern cohesion policy,
  • agriculture and bioeconomy,
  • social infrastructure,
  • high-impact global investment, and
  • capital markets union.

The EIB works closely with other EU institutions to foster European integration, promote the development of the EU and support EU policies in over 160 countries around the world.
