Azerbaijan and the EIB

The EIB has worked with Azerbaijan since 2014.

The Bank operates under the framework of the European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP), the Eastern Partnership (EaP) and other EU bilateral agreements. We have invested more than €96 million in the country. Through cooperation with a local bank, the EIB has provided funding worth €25 million to more than 120 enterprises.

With the support of the EIB, Azerbaijan is aiming to diversify its economy. This process will likely include investments in renewable energy and energy efficiency. Our priorities in Azerbaijan feature the promotion of balanced and sustained economic development, especially for rural areas, the reduction of inequalities and the diversification of national energy sources.

All EU activities that help Azerbaijan boost economic growth are part of EU4Business Initiative instruments covering Eastern Neighbourhood countries and are delivered by the EIB in collaboration with other international financial institutions. In the face of COVID-19, we are strengthening support in areas like healthcare, digitalisation, SMEs and climate action in the EaP countries.

Sicherere Strassen in der Ukraine und ihren Nachbarländern

5 958 Unfälle, 47 Verkehrstote und mehr als tausend Verletzte – das ist die traurige Verkehrsbilanz der Stadt Lwiw des letzten Jahres. Im restlichen Teil der Ukraine ist diese Bilanz noch schlechter. Doch die Europäische Investitionsbank wird mit ihren Projekten in den östlichen Nachbarländern die Straßen für 3,3 Millionen Menschen sicherer machen.
