The European Investment Bank (EIB) aims for a €95 billion investment in 2025, focusing on clean-tech, AI, sustainable housing, and climate action, while only allocating €2 billion to security and defense. EIB President Nadia Calviño emphasized the bank's proactive approach and commitment to financing capacity, despite calls from the European Commission to revise its lending policy for military projects. The EIB has increased support for dual-use projects and is assessing 14 new projects. Concerns about the impact of defense financing on the bank's creditworthiness were raised by some EU countries. The EIB also mobilized significant funds for energy security and green transition initiatives, with plans to support innovators and address food resilience in 2025. Teljes cikk (Euronews.com)
