Reuters/Eric Vidal Acquire Licensing RightsBRUSSELS, Sept 7 (Reuters Breakingviews) - The European Investment Bank has a chance to remake itself when it gains a new leader next year. The EIB has been making infrastructure loans since 1958, and now channels some 65 billion euros in annual financing to the economy. To do that, the next EIB chief will need to let the bank shoulder more risk, as suggested by Vestager on Thursday. By comparison, the World Bank has $240 billion loans outstanding.

BERLIN, Feb 28 (Reuters) - The European Investment Bank could set up a new fund to counter subsidies offered by the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act, which pressure companies to move their production there, its president said in an interview published on Tuesday. Werner Hoyer told German news magazine Der Spiegel a fund set up to help companies stay afloat during the coronavirus pandemic could serve as a model for a fund to help safeguard European industry. "In principle, every investment project that has not yet received final approval is currently being put to the test." The European Commission earlier this month proposed allowing increased levels of state aid so that Europe can compete with the United States. The $430-billion act was passed by U.S. Congress last August and offers subsidies and tax incentives for a swathe of domestically produced green industry products.
BRUSSELS, Feb 2 (Reuters) - The European Union's investment bank on Thursday called for more budget guarantees from the bloc's 27 members to match or exceed this year the 2.2 billion euros ($2.4 bln) spent in Ukraine since the Russian invasion last February. The European Investment Bank (EIB) (EIB.UL), the lending arm of the European Union, said it had already disbursed 1.7 billion euros and had another 540 million for ongoing projects. He said much more would be needed to rebuild the country from the war, a task the World Bank last September estimated at $350 billion. The EU is also discussing with global partners the potential use of Russian assets frozen under sanctions to rebuild Ukraine, though legal doubts remain. These include an estimated $300 billion of Russian central bank assets.
Oct 25 (Reuters) - Ukraine's external financing needs will be around $3 billion a month through 2023 in a best-case scenario, but could rise as high as $5 billion if Russian bombing becomes "even more dramatic," IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva said. She said IMF staff had met with Ukrainian authorities in Vienna last week to discuss the country's financial needs and were working toward a fully-fledged IMF lending programme. Georgieva strongly endorsed Ukraine's calls for a mechanism to coordinate financial needs and support, a message echoed by Odile Renaud-Basso, president of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, and other speakers. We are going to be a part of the solution during this recovery phase," the IMF leader said. "And in a worst case scenario, if the bombing is even more dramatic ... it could go to $5 billion a month."
