We started the week in Warsaw, with a very productive meeting of the Boards of the EIB and the Fund to discuss new initiatives to deepen Europe´s capital markets, channel savings into productive investments and support companies’ competitiveness.
We also have reinforced our strategic partnerships with other European institutions:
- With the European Defence Agency, we signed an agreement to cooperate in identifying and financing projects to reinforce Europe´s security and defence capabilities.
- With the Polish and Czech national promotional banks, we signed a joint contribution to the Three Seas Initiative Innovation Fund, investing in strategic projects in central and Eastern Europe. The president of the European Investment Bank Group Nadia Calviño had a good meeting with the head of Italy’s Cassa Depositi e Prestiti. – Dario Scannapieco.
- And with the President of the European Court of Justice, Koen Lenaerts, we agreed to strengthen collaboration between the two institutions.
Amongst the new projects announced this week, we´d highlight support for affordable housing in Latvia and biomedical research in Barcelona.
And finally, alongside Luxembourg’s finance minister and the head of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, we celebrated the €100 billion milestone in green and sustainable bond issuance. The EIB Group will keep driving the global shift toward sustainable investments and the green transition.
