Omissions

• The EIB's own wording is 'around 10%', not an exact 10%.
• The outside-EU share is a long-standing feature of EIB activity: the EIB Group announced in October 2025 (press release 2025-391) a strategic direction to boost investments outside the EU to up to €10 billion annually for 2025-2027, which is consistent with roughly a tenth of its total annual financing.
• EIB financing outside the EU is carried out under EU external mandates and supports EU development and cooperation policy, context the speaker omits.
