Our Mission is to further the objectives of the European Union by making long-term finance available for sound investment.
The EIB Group promotes Corporate Responsibility through its mission and activities in the service of the European Union, through the way it implements these and through its internal management.
The EIB attaches great importance to engaging with civil society and building cooperative relations with its representatives.
Each year the European Investment Bank organises a Forum which focuses on a subject of current interest.
Discussions at this year's Forum will centre around stable development in the Mediterranean region, an issue previously discussed five years ago when the Barcelona Process had just started. The objective of the Forum is to examine progress achieved since.
Eminent speakers will look at progress made and study prospects for further economic reforms in the European Union’s Mediterranean partner countries. They will also consider the development of different economic sectors and identify opportunities for investment, notably foreign direct investment. In addition, the region's financial sector and possible bottlenecks for economic development will be discussed.
The Forum will enable participants from EU member states to gain an insight into the development of the Mediterranean region. Moreover, the exchange of experiences among participants of Mediterranean countries will be invaluable in helping to decide how to deploy financial resources, be they in the form of grant aids or loans, as effectively as possible.
The Forums are attended by high-ranking representatives from government and political circles as well as industrial and banking sectors.
These pages will be regularly updated. The speakers' CVs and their speeches will be published at the conference and on this website.
