Shareholders
The shareholders of the European Investment Bank are the 27 Member States of the European Union.
Each Member State's share in the Bank's capital is calculated in accordance with its economic weight within the European Union (expressed in GDP) at the time of its accession.
In total, the Bank's subscribed capital amounts to more than 164.8 billion.
The EU Member States are fully eligible for Bank financing operations, without any geographical or sectoral quotas being applied.
Under its Statute, the Bank may have maximum loans outstanding equivalent to two and half times its capital. It therefore commands a solid base for fulfilling its remits.
