The European Investment Bank (EIB) is strengthening its role as the European Union's financial arm, with its financing ceiling for this year reaching €100 billion, a new record.
Against a backdrop of geopolitical tensions, the Bank is confirming its commitment to defence and security by tripling its lending. The EIB plans to devote 3.5% of total financing to the military sector. The institution mentions 32 flagship projects in the pipeline.
