The European Investment Banks finance projects in 150 countries: pre-accession countries of South-East Europe, Mediterranean partner countries; the African, Caribbean and the Pacific countries, Asia, Latin America, Central Asia, and other neighbors to the East

The majority shareholder of the European Investment Fund is the European Investment Bank, with which it forms the 'EIB Group'.
