The EIB is the European Union's bank
Who we are?The European Investment Bank is the lending arm of the European Union and the biggest multilateral financial institution in the world. We aim to address the challenges and risks of our changing world, from public health emergencies to gender inequality. We work closely with other EU institutions to foster European integration, promote the development of the EU and support EU policies in over 140 countries. We offer loans, guarantees, equity investments and advisory services and we focus primarily on climate, development, innovation and skills, small businesses, infrastructure, and cohesion.
Why are you known as the EU’s Climate Bank?
The EIB is now the first multilateral development bank that will spend no money – zero – on anything that has a negative climate impact. We are one of the world’s main financiers of climate action.
Across this decade 2021-2030, is critical to address our planet's climate and environment emergency. To achieve this, trillions of investment are required, and we need to support a variety of activities and sectors of the economy with our financial products and advisory services.
And we can only do that successfully with the right people working side by side!
We are the only bank owned by and representing the interests of the European Union Member States. We work closely with other EU institutions to implement EU policy. Our expertise is based on more than 60 years' experience and the specialised knowledge of over 3,400 staff.

We raise the bulk of our lending resources on the international capital markets through bond issues. Our excellent rating allows us to borrow at advantageous rates. We thus are able to offer good terms to our clients.
