The importance of the water and sanitation sector, and the issues highlighted here, are clearly reflected in the European Union’s (EU) environmental, regional and development policies. The European Investment Bank (EIB) is the long-term financing institution of the EU with the mission of contributing to the implementation of EU policy objectives by providing finance for investment projects. Since its inception in 1958, the EIB has played a major role in the development of the water and sanitation sector, having lent more than EUR 30bn to water supply and sanitation projects in both the EU and the Partner Countries (PCs). In the last five years, the EIB has intensified its lending to this key sector, with an annual lending average reaching EUR 2.1bn. |
