EIB loans to EU member states
Total EIB signatures for Trans-European Network (Transport, Telecom, and Energy) projects
amounted to €86.8 billion between 1995 and 2005, which is a substantial share (23%) of total
EIB signatures during this period.
94% of all TEN projects financed by the EIB were located in the EU-25.
Transport-TENs (TEN-T) accounted for 74% of total TEN signatures (€64.4 billion), followed
by telecommunications (e-TENs 18% or €15.2 billion) and Energy-TENs (8% or €7.2 billion).
EIB financing for transport and energy TEN projects can be broken down as follows: roads
(39%), railways (27%), air transport (14%), gas (7%), roads and railways (4%), water transport
(4%), electricity projects (3%), and others (2%).
The loans provided by the EIB for road projects during that period (1995–2005) amounted to
€27.76 billion.

EIB loans to non-EU countries
Between 1990 and 1999, the European Investment Bank (EIB) provided some €4.9 billion in
financing for 58 projects.
Of this, approximately 65% (i.e. €3.19 billion) went to roads, 27% to railways, 6% to air
transport, and 2% to ports.
The distribution between countries reflected their size, population, and economic importance,
with most funding going to the Czech Republic, Poland, and Romania.
