2025 marked a milestone for the European Investment Bank Group, which reached a historic €100 billion in new financing. As a cornerstone of the European project, backed by the unified vision of its 27 shareholders, the Group increased its relevance and strategic focus, prioritising investments that contribute to competitiveness and security, aiming to promote shared prosperity and democratic values, across Europe and around the world. In 2025, the EIB set records in four key areas: energy grids, technological innovation, housing, and security and defence. Nearly 60% of total financing was dedicated to green projects, ranging from large energy grids and interconnectors to renewable energy deployment, tech research, and decarbonising heavy industry. These initiatives not only advanced climate action, they also strengthened Europe's competitiveness and energy security – delivering clean, affordable power, reducing reliance on fossil fuels, and supporting leadership in critical industries.



About the European Investment Bank 

With a €600 billion balance sheet, the European Investment Bank Group is the financing arm of the European Union and one of the largest multilateral development banks in the world. Building on its robust balance sheet, triple-A rating, strong risk management and profitable business model, the EIB mobilises public and private investment at scale. Every year, the EIB channels annual earnings into reserves, enabling the whole Group to leverage its own resources and public guarantees to raise funds in financial markets and provide long-term loans, guarantees and capital for projects and companies that build a stronger Europe in a safer, more prosperous world. A key implementing partner of the European Commission, the EIB Group mobilises EU budget guarantees, instruments and mandates. It is active in every corner of the European Union and in more than 160 countries across the world. Each euro of EU funding backed by the EIB Group mobilises €15 of investment, making a difference where it matters most – in projects with impact that people can feel and partners can trust.
