The meeting was devoted to the discussion of the EIB’s current projects, plans, and priorities, as well as possible areas of collaboration with the business community in the course of Ukraine’s recovery.
The EIB is the lending institution of the European Union and the world's biggest multilateral financial institution. Since the start of russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, the EIB offered immediate relief to Ukraine, disbursing €1.7 billion of financing since 2022 and helping finance emergency repairs to the country’s ravaged infrastructure. The bank also provided a €4 billion credit line to support the integration of refugees from Ukraine in the EU countries.
In late 2023, EIB Regional Hub for Eastern Europe was established in Kyiv, designed to provide reinforced support to Ukraine and Eastern Europe. With more resources and expertise on the ground, even closer to the EIB's partners, the Hub will be instrumental in supporting recovery and reconstruction efforts. This expansion is based on the EIB’s 16-year presence in Ukraine, with a portfolio of projects valued at €7.3 billion, focusing primarily on transport, energy, and municipal infrastructure.
