European Investment Bank (EIB)

At the International Monetary Fund - The World Bank Annual Meetings, the Heads of Multilateral Development Banks (MDBs) Group, chaired in 2025 by the CEB - Council of Europe Development Bank, met to review progress on joint actions and chart priority areas for the Group’s future work. Among the milestones highlighted was the opening of a new chapter for GEMs | Global Emerging Markets Risk Database. With a revised cooperation agreement, new data aggregator, and expanded publications, GEMs is now better equipped to provide transparency on credit risk and support greater investment in emerging markets. A tangible step forward on the MDBs’ Capital Adequacy Framework commitments.

Today is World Food Day! 🍔 The journey of your food from farm to fork is facing unprecedented challenges: climate change, resource scarcity, and the need for greater resilience. At the European Investment Bank, we see these as critical investment opportunities for a more sustainable future. Last year alone, the EIB Group provided €6.4 billion to support innovative financing solutions in the agriculture and bioeconomy sector. Today we reaffirm our commitment to building sustainable and resilient food systems. Our new carousel breaks down how we're investing across the entire food value chain to build more secure and sustainable systems for everyone. Swipe to explore how we support: 🌾 Sustainable Agriculture: Financing climate-smart practices and helping farmers transition to more resilient models. 🔬 Food Innovation: Backing the next generation of food, from plant-based proteins to advanced bio-economy solutions. 👨🌾 Smallholder Farmers: Providing access to finance for the small farms that form the backbone of global food production, both in the EU and beyond. 📦 Resilient Supply Chains: Modernising logistics, storage, and processing to reduce waste and ensure food gets where it's needed efficiently. Food security is a cornerstone of climate action and sustainable development. It requires a systemic approach that combines public policy, private investment, and ground-breaking innovation.
