Supporting Europe’s Growth
EAPB represents national and regional promotional and public banks across Europe. Our members finance public sector initiatives, businesses, and sustainable projects—driving progress in infrastructure, social housing, healthcare, education, and green & digital transitions.
Mobilizing Private Investment for a Sustainable Future
As Europe advances toward social inclusion, carbon neutrality, and geopolitical resilience, public banks serve as vital intermediaries. With constrained public budgets, EAPB members help unlock private capital—especially for green and sustainable projects—through innovative financial tools like sustainable bonds and blended finance.
Driving EU Investment Programs
EAPB members have been instrumental in implementing major EU investment strategies, including:
➡️ The Juncker Plan
➡️ InvestEU
By aligning with Europe’s strategic goals, our members directly support sustainable economic policies across the continent.
Rapid Crisis Response
EAPB banks have demonstrated resilience and agility in times of crisis. During COVID-19 and the Ukraine war, they provided emergency funding to:
➡️ Municipalities
➡️ Energy providers
➡️ Small and medium-sized businesses
This support helped mitigate economic and social disruptions across Europe.
Advancing EU Priorities
Amid economic challenges and the urgent transition to climate neutrality, EAPB members play a central role in shaping Europe’s industrial strategy. Their work aligns with the vision of EU leaders—including Letta, Draghi, and President von der Leyen—to secure Europe’s long-term competitiveness.
Coordinating for Europe’s Future Success
To ensure the EU’s continued growth, efficient access to funding is critical. EAPB members collaborate with regional, national, and European partners to optimize resource allocation and advance the EU’s top priorities.
