EUR 53.5 billion of EIB financing is earmarked for climate goals.

Omissions

• The exact figure of €53.5 billion for EIB climate financing does not appear in any official EIB publication found; official figures are €51 billion (EIB Group, 2024), €50.3 billion (EIB alone, invested in 2025) and a record €57 billion (EIB Group, committed in 2025, per the EIB Sustainability Report 2025).
• The €6.2 billion figure for agriculture and bioeconomy could not be verified against official sources; the European Commission/EIB Group announced €3 billion in loans for agriculture and other bioeconomy activities (2024), and the EIB mentions around €8.4 billion of long-term investments unlocked for the bioeconomy via InvestEU — neither matches €6.2 billion.
• The claim does not specify the reference year or whether it refers to the EIB alone or the EIB Group (EIB + EIF); figures differ by year and by scope (EIB alone vs EIB Group).
• The EIB Sustainability Report 2025 (data period 2025) may have been published close to or after the session date of 2026-07-06, so the MEP may not have known that exact figure; however, the 2024 results (€51 billion) and the EIB 2025 figure (€50.3 billion) were published before the session.
• The overall contrast (climate financing far exceeding agriculture/bioeconomy financing) is directionally supported by official data, but the precise magnitudes cited are imprecise.
