Brussels \u2013 Going forward as planned, with a focused agenda and strategy for more defence investment<\/strong>: The European Investment Bank (EIB<\/strong>) is presenting its work program to EU economics and finance ministers, gathered in Ghent for the informal work of the 27-member enlarged Eurogroup and Ecofin. The shareholders of the credit institution took detailed stock of the situation.<\/p>\n

Nadia Calvi\u00f1o, president of the EIB<\/a>, proposed increasing EIB Group funding for Europe’s security and defence. “Strong focus” is given to new technologies, critical infrastructure such as border control, cybersecurity, space, and especially dual-use<\/strong> technologies such as drones: these are key, above all, to that shift toward supporting more the military industry and a type of investment that has never before been supported. Discussions are being held<\/span><\/span> with the European Commission and other key stakeholders on the scope and definition of dual-use technologies,<\/strong> Calvi\u00f1o said at the end of the meeting.

Statements that confirm that it is precisely the Luxembourg-based credit institution is expected to play a key role in the new definition of an increasingly military Europe<\/a>. The contribution of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) will also be essential in this path.
