Following the signature of the InvestEU Guarantee Agreement between the European Commission and the European Investment Bank (EIB) in March, the InvestEU Investment Committee confirmed on 1 April the EU guarantee for EIB financing totalling €1.9 billion. The backed investments will support clean energy, education, improved internet connection, water and wastewater infrastructure. The first projects to benefit from the new EU guarantee fall within InvestEU’s social investments and skills window and sustainable infrastructure window.
