14 June 2022 — In recent decades, the European Investment Bank (EIB) has become a significant player in the field of development finance. With the creation of its new EIB Global development branch in 2022, the bank is planning to step up its development role in support of EU development policies. The International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH) and other organisations publish a position paper seeking to inform decision makers at the EIB, as well as its shareholders and the EU institutions to which the bank is accountable, of the key principles and demands formulated by civil society to guide the future operations of EIB Global.
