As the world struggles with COVID-19, Europe is both heavily affected by the pandemic and at the forefront of combatting it.

We supported the health sector and vaccine research, such as BioNTech, one of the vaccine makers. We also partnered with Team Europe to tackle the pandemic in fragile states around the world. Together with the European Investment Fund (EIF), we provided a critical lifeline to hard-hit small and medium-sized businesses.

The EIB also revises its Energy Lending Policy, becoming the first international finance institution to end financing for fossil fuel projects and to focus its support on projects that are fully aligned with the Paris Agreement.
