Description:
The EIB is one of the key institutions in implementing EU policy. Being both a bank, and having a mandate to support EU policy, it is one of very few institutions that can really influence EU infrastructure investments on a very large scale by careful use of its funds. At the same time transport investments represent a large share of the EIB’s portfolio in the EU 27. At the same time transport GHG emissions in the EU are continuously rising. Below we provide facts about the EIB’s performance in recent years, since the approval of the current transport policy in 2007.
