The European Investment Bank (EIB) Group deployed more than €9bn through EIB Global, its arm for international partnerships and development finance, in 2025. EIB Global also worked in smaller countries such as The Gambia, São Tomé and Príncipe, and Cabo Verde. In the health sector, EIB Global signed a guarantee agreement with MedAccess to expand access to essential medical supplies across Africa. Under the Boost Africa initiative, EIB Global backed the Africa Venture Finance Programme organised at Oxford University’s Saïd Business School. As a key partner in the EU Global Gateway investment strategy, in 2025, EIB Global reached its €100bn investment mobilisation goal – well ahead of the 2027 deadline.
