Nearly 60% of all European Investment Bank financing went to the climate agenda.

Omissions

• The exact figure is 'nearly 60%' / 'almost 60%' / 'more than 60%' of total EIB Group financing in 2025 — the claim's 'nearly 60%' matches the EIB's own wording precisely.
• The EIB metric covers 'climate action and environmental sustainability' (green projects broadly defined), not only pure climate mitigation; this is the EIB's standard definition of its green/climate financing share.
• The data refer to the 2025 calendar year, published in the EIB Group 2025 Activity Report and annual results (presented in early 2026), i.e. before the session date of 2026-07-06.
• The stated share is for the EIB Group (EIB plus EIF) as a whole, which the speaker referred to simply as 'European Investment Bank financing'.
