ОглавлениеTHE EIB GROUP
The EIB Group is the European Union’s long-term financing institution. It provides finance and technical assistance to achieve sustainable, inclusive growth through two complementary entities, the European Investment Bank (EIB or Bank) and the European Investment Fund (EIF).
The European Investment Bank – the EU bank – is owned by the EU Member States. We are the world’s largest multilateral borrower and lender. The finance and assistance we provide contributes to the achievement of EU policy goals. We also operate globally as a multilateral development bank.
The European Investment Fund provides risk finance to benefit micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and stimulates growth and innovation across Europe. It provides financing and expertise for sound, sustainable investment and guarantee operations. EIF shareholders include the EIB, the European Commission, and a wide range of public and private banks and financial institutions. By developing and offering targeted products to its financial intermediaries, such as banks, guarantee and leasing institutions, microcredit providers and private equity funds, the EIF enhances access to finance for small and medium enterprises.
