Sassoli: EIB must be courageous in face of COVID-19
Statement by President Sassoli ahead of board meeting of the European Investment Bank
“The European Investment Bank has recently announced measures that will help mobilise up to 40 billion Euros to help SMEs impacted by the COVID-19 crisis. Although these measures are important, we expect a courageous response from the EIB to mitigate the effects of this crisis.
“More synergies need to be explored between the EIB, the European Institutions, national promotional banks, commercial banks and governments to provide emergency assistance to sectors and business hit hardest by the crisis.”
