Investment by the EIB Group in the country for the past five years now totals 2.4 billion euro, the EIB said in a press release. The funds aim to promote a smarter, greener growth model, as well as economic resilience and better quality of life.
All of the new financing committed by the EIB Group in Croatia in 2023 went to projects supporting economic and social cohesion, which will facilitate faster convergence within the European Union and underpin the country’s transition to a greener and more sustainable economy.
In 2023, EIB Group financing accounted for 0.61% of Croatia’s gross domestic product, mobilising investments worth nearly 1.15 billion euro. These investments benefited 1,052 small and medium companies and mid-caps, sustaining more than 48,500 jobs.
