The European Investment Bank holds a triple-A credit rating, which is crucial for financing itself at favourable conditions.

Omissions

• The claim cites no specific agency or affirmation date, but all four major agencies (Fitch, Moody's, S&P, Scope) consistently rate the EIB AAA/Aaa with stable outlooks, so no material omission affects the statement.
• The EIB itself states on its investor-relations page that its bonds are of the highest credit quality because of the AAA rating from Fitch, Moody's, S&P and Scope; a Fitch rating action from 9 July 2026 (three days after the session) still affirmed the AAA rating, confirming the rating remained in place.
