The adoption of the Strategic Roadmap follows several months of intensive engagement between President Calviño and EU governments, key partners and stakeholders, including dedicated discussions during the ECOFIN meetings in February and April.
The European Investment Bank Group (EIB Group) and the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Enterprise of Spain have signed a framework finance agreement to implement the Regional Resilience Fund (in Spanish Fondo de Resiliencia Autonómica). The Fund, led by the Ministry of the Economy and in which the Autonomous Communities will play a key role in the selection of projects to be financed, will spur environmental, and social investments in the Spanish Autonomous Communities, and will channel financing of the Next Generation EU loans under the Spanish Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan.
Nadia Calviño, President of the European Investment Bank Group has been participating in the 2024 Financing for Development Forum this week, at the United Nations in New York. The Forum which is organised by the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC), is designed to bring together stakeholders to address the current global challenges and advance policies for financing long-term sustainable development priorities. This is President Calviño’s first visit to the United Nations since she took up her post in January.
