The EIB announced the opening of a new regional EIB Eastern European representative office in Kyiv. The new regional office will provide enhanced support to Ukraine and Eastern Europe, cooperating and coordinating with EIB offices in Moldova and the South Caucasus (Tbilisi, Georgia).
Today, the portfolio of projects the EIB implements with the Ukrainian state, communal sectors, and businesses reaches more than €7.3B. Since the beginning of the full-scale war, the EIB has significantly increased its activity, providing €1.7B in aid for urgent infrastructure repairs. The EU Bank also offered a €4B credit line to support the integration of refugees from Ukraine into EU countries.
Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal noted that the government actively cooperates with the EIB in infrastructure restoration, energy, and heat supply.
