Financing from the European Investment Bank (EIB) in Portugal rose to three billion euros in 2025, up from 2.1 billion euros in 2024, as announced by the EU financial institution today. In its annual results released in Brussels, the EIB reported that Portugal received three billion euros (1% of GDP) and an additional 30 million euros through the Recovery and Resilience Facility last year.

EIB-supported investments in Portugal reached 11.8 billion euros (3.9% of GDP) in 2025. In the previous year, Portugal was among the top 10 beneficiaries of EIB funds based on GDP, receiving financing of 2.1 billion euros, or 1.7% of GDP. Since 1976, the EIB has provided financing and expertise for sustainable investments in Portugal, supporting 525 projects and mobilizing a total of 61.07 billion euros over this period, as per the institution’s data.

The EIB group includes both the European Investment Bank and the European Investment Fund. The EU financial institution also reported a record investment of 100 billion euros in 2025 aimed at enhancing European economic competitiveness and security. As the EU’s financial institution, owned by Member States, the EIB offers loans under favorable terms to address Europe’s economic, social, and geopolitical challenges. Recently, the EIB has increased its engagement in security and defense, reflecting the evolving geopolitical landscape in Europe and globally.
