Nadia Calvino, the President of the EIB, to HVG: I want to focus on opportunities

The European Investment Bank (EIB) celebrates its tenth anniversary in Hungary, emphasizing the importance of its physical presence for local partnerships. The EIB has supported infrastructure, education, and energy projects in Hungary for over three decades. A new co-investment platform with the Hungarian Development Bank aims to mobilize significant investments using EU recovery funds. The EIB plans to provide over €100 billion in financing this year, focusing on energy independence and technological development. The bank evaluates projects based on economic, social, and environmental criteria, adapting to changing geopolitical contexts. Recent political changes in Hungary have positively influenced market reactions, impacting the EIB's operations.
