What is the EIBs borrowing philosophy?
In view of the EIB’s considerable funding requirement, the Bank aims, on a permanent basis, to accommodate the wishes of institutional and retail investors as to currency, maturity, structure, etc. when it offers new securities. Therefore, the EIB focuses on the issuance of large, liquid benchmarks in the main currencies (EUR, GBP and USD) as well as the offering of structured and tailor-made securities in a wide range of currencies. As in the past, the Bank continues to seek an active role in furthering the development of emerging markets, in particular those of the new Member States and the Accession Countries.
