The European Investment Bank manages almost 250 billion EUR.

Omissions

• The figure of 'almost 250 billion EUR' refers to the EIB's subscribed capital (€248.796 billion), not its total assets under management. The EIB's actual balance sheet total is €556.4 billion, more than double the claimed figure. The term 'manages' is misleading when applied to subscribed capital, as this represents committed capital from member states rather than assets actively managed by the bank.
• The EIB's annual lending signatures in 2024 were €76.6 billion, and total investments were €89 billion.
• Source publication date (May 2025) is after the session date (April 2026) - actually this is before, let me correct: The source publication is May 2025, session is April 2026, so the MEP could have known this data.
