EIB MED Conference: Boosting investments in the Mediterranean Region 2017 | European Investment Bank | 13 September 2017 | Cairo, Egypt, Cairo, Egypt

In pursuit of economic growth and the sustainable development goals (SDGs), the European Investment Bank - the EU-Bank - has been called upon by the European Council to step up its support to the European Union’s neighbourhood. The Bank’s newly launched Economic Resilience Initiative will allow the blending of funds from the donor community with EIB financing. Thus it will scale up blended funding in favour of critical investments through intensified EIB activity.

Boosting the Mediterranean region’s economic growth and resilience requires upgrading and developing social and economic infrastructure and stimulating private sector development. This conference will address the challenges and obstacles in the region, focussing on how to boost public and private investments to promote job creation, especially for young people and women, and to raise living standards.
