EIF Annual Report 2023

This past year has seen the EIF mobilise more than €134bn for the real economy, making it our second most ‘productive’ year in terms of commitments. But the numbers only tell part of the story, as the essence of our work lies in the impact behind them: improved competitiveness, support for innovative entrepreneurs and digitalisation, social impact, greater sustainability and support for the green transformation. With a multitude of challenges on the horizon, not least the green transformation and the pursuit of a more sustainable future, the EIB Group and the EIF in particular will remain steadfast in our commitment to European small businesses.
