Nadia Calviño is the new president of the European Investment Bank (EIB) She wants the institution to reinforce the political objectives of the EU without putting the bank's exceptional strategic rating at risk. “It is clear that we must strengthen the European security and defense industry; our defensive and also deterrent capacity,” she says.
The EIB has a financing program of 8,000 million until 2027 and only 2,000 have been invested so far. The bank has taken much more risk both inside and outside Europe, for example in Ukraine.
