Overview

EIB lending in Asia and Latin America (ALA) started in 1993 and is governed by mandates from the European Union (EU).

EIB in specific countries

See below an overview of our impact in some Asia countries. For Latin American countries see here.

Priority projects

The EIB gives priority to the following types of projects in these countries: 1) climate change mitigation and adaptation (e.g. renewable energy, energy efficiency, urban transport and other projects that reduce CO₂ emissions); 2) development of social and economic infrastructure, including water and sanitation; 3) local private sector development, in particular support to SMEs. In addition, to be eligible for Bank financing, projects are required to have good potential to contribute to the economic development of the beneficiary country.

To enhance the effectiveness of development cooperation, we are one of the partners in the Mutual Reliance Initiative (MRI).
