He highlighted that the pursuit of such reforms and the new measures presented during the conference would enable the EIB to deploy investments of up to 800 million euros.\nThe EIB\u2019s President pointed out that\u00a0Lebanon would be supported via the EIB\u2019s Economic Resilience Initiative for the Western Balkans and Southern Neighbourhood (ERI) which is intended to encourage investment in the EU Neighbourhood Countries. The EIB is able to substantially scale up financing activities in Lebanon, as well as other EU neighbours, thanks to the donor funds raised from the EU Member States, including Croatia, Italy, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Poland, Slovakia and the UK.\nThe ERI allows the EIB to step up its engagement to tackle the refugee crisis and the longer-term challenge of migration in the region by helping to build economic resilience. Through investment in key infrastructure and the private sector, it will create opportunities for employment and conditions for growth. This will include increasing the provision of services like energy, transport, water, sanitation and education.\nThe EIB is a longstanding partner to Lebanon. The Bank signed recently a financing agreement of 68 million\u00a0euros for the expansion of Al Ghadir water and wastewater plant. Over the years, the Bank provided financing across many sectors; energy (112 million euros), transport (335 million euros), equity (26.5 million euros), water and wastewater (401 million euros) as well as private sector development (705 million euros). The Bank is working closely with the government of Lebanon to provide necessary finance for needed projects.\nDiscover out our latest videos about the economic news in Lebanon :\u00a0\n\n\n","author":75,"featured_media":4906,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","tags":[5761,5766,5751,2961,5760,5750,5762],"location":[5628],"class_list":["post-27918","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-decision-makers","tag-economic-analysis","tag-economy","tag-institutions","tag-mediterranean-exchanges","tag-news","tag-trending","location-lebanon"],"short_url":"","have_related_news":null,"chapo":"At the CEDRE conference organised in Paris last week, President of the European Investment Bank (EIB) Werner Hoyer announced that Lebanon would receive up to 800 million euros of support to public investments by 2020.","media":{"src":"https:\/\/www.ecomnewsmed.com\/app\/uploads\/2020\/03\/bei-1.jpg","srcset":"https:\/\/www.ecomnewsmed.com\/app\/uploads\/2020\/03\/bei-1.jpg 550w","sizes":"550px","alt":"La banque europ\u00e9enne d\u2019investissement soutient quatre projets pour favoriser le d\u00e9veloppement du Liban 1","width":550,"height":360,"ratio":0.75,"credit_photo":""},"media-news-header":{"src":"https:\/\/www.ecomnewsmed.com\/app\/uploads\/2020\/03\/bei-1-877x658.jpg","srcset":"https:\/\/www.ecomnewsmed.com\/app\/uploads\/2020\/03\/bei-1-877x658.jpg 1170w","sizes":"1170px","alt":"La banque europ\u00e9enne d\u2019investissement soutient quatre projets pour favoriser le d\u00e9veloppement du Liban 1","width":1170,"height":658,"ratio":0.75,"credit_photo":""},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
