In a year heavily marked by the COVID-19 pandemic, the EIB Group confirmed its strong support to the Polish economy, providing
€5.2 billion of overall financing to the country’s public and private sectors. Volumes delivered in 2020 were largely in line with the trend of the previous years,
a sign that the country responded swiftly to the pandemic and continued to invest in the future despite the forced downturn.
Loans granted by the European Investment Bank (EIB) amounted to
€4.6 billion, while the European Investment Fund (EIF) provided
€660 million in guarantees and equity investments to small and medium-sized businesses and mid-caps. In absolute terms, Poland was the fifth biggest recipient of EIB Group financing among the 27 EU Member States after Italy, France, Spain and Germany.
