Step into the light: transparency review at EU bank can end culture of secrecy

The European Investment Bank, one of the largest lenders globally, is currently working on a new transparency policy that will govern how and what information the bank makes public. As the EU’s house bank, the EIB must guarantee the right of all citizens to access information held by public bodies.

OUR FOCUS

Beyond coal

Coal is an outdated industry on its last leg. Public finance can move our economies in a new, socially responsible direction.

Rights, democracy, development

Public money must not become an auxiliary for human rights violations or the marginalisation of affected communities.

A people’s budget

The key to unlocking a positive new vision for Europe is rethinking the EU budget for a more equal and sustainable economy. An economy based on well-being.
