EU guarantee to EIB for non-EU project loans

This procedure establishes a guarantee fund to protect the European Investment Bank (EIB) against potential losses from loans and guarantees provided to projects outside the European Union. By mitigating financial risks, the EU aims to encourage the EIB to invest more in sustainable development and infrastructure projects in third countries.

This affects the EU budget and the EIB's lending capacity. It primarily benefits developing nations and strategic partners receiving investment for green and digital transitions.
