Economic stability and energy security in the South Caucasus will be a priority for the European Investment Bank (EIB), APA-Economics reports.

EIB Global, the international arm of the European Investment Bank, announced this within the framework of its new regional activities for 2025. According to the document, the Bank's activities in the Southern and Eastern Neighborhood regions of the European Union (North Africa, the Middle East and the South Caucasus) will cover broader strategic objectives.

The document emphasizes that EIB Global has identified strengthening local economic stability and resilience in these regions, developing physical links with the European Union and strengthening the EU's energy security as priority areas.

Within the framework of the new approach, the Bank will create opportunities for increasing employment in the local private sector, as well as investing in clean energy and other infrastructure projects. These initiatives will serve to strengthen the energy and economic security of the European Union.

It was noted that this policy is of great importance in terms of deepening the economic and energy relations of the countries of the region with Europe.

EIB will also contribute to the implementation of the European Commission's Black Sea Strategy, which was presented in May 2025 and aims to strengthen connectivity with the Trans-European Networks through investments in transport, energy, and digital infrastructure.
