EIB in Ukraine: Recovery funds slow to reach communities

Briefing    |    19 October 2026

This briefing looks at how well European Investment Bank (EIB) financing supports Ukraine’s recovery and whether it delivers on the Bank’s climate commitments. It examines how recovery projects are being implemented, the gap between signed loans and funds actually disbursed, weaknesses in project preparation and monitoring, and the environmental and climate impacts of the projects financed. It calls for better-prepared projects, more transparent data and measurable climate results, so that EIB financing supports a sustainable and resilient recovery.
