The record €100 billion financing volume applies to the EIB Group (EIB + European Investment Fund), not to the EIB alone; the EIB itself signed €86 billion in 2025.
The balance sheet total of around €600 billion is likewise the EIB Group's total, as described in the EIB's own communications (the EIB president's 2025 annual results speech refers to 'eine Bilanzsumme von 600 Milliarden Euro' for the Group).
The figures refer to financing signed in 2025, the most recent full year before the session date; the EIB's official results were published in early 2026, so the MEP could have known them.
