The EIB works closely with the European Commission, combining grants and loans in the pre-Accession region to achieve an optimum financing package.

The EIB is the largest supranational borrower and lender in the world. As the bank of the European Union, it mainly operates in the 27 Member States. Nevertheless, roughly 10% of its lending goes to projects outside the Union. In 2011 this amounted to some EUR 7bn.
The REsults Measurement Framework (REM), to be gradually implemented in 2012, will improve the ex ante assessment of expected project results and enhance the Bank’s ability to report on actual results achieved.
