– Morocco is among the top beneficiary countries in Africa of investments deployed in 2025 by the European Investment Bank (EIB) Group, the bank said in a statement released Tuesday.
In the Kingdom, the EIB financed secure drinking water production and distribution to support climate-resilient water infrastructure and equitable access to potable water for smaller cities and rural areas, the institution noted in its recently published 2025 annual report.
The Group also supported post-earthquake recovery through a large-scale programme focusing on the reconstruction and rehabilitation of schools, hospitals, roads and essential infrastructure, integrating climate-resilient design, energy efficiency and social standards, the same source added.
In 2025, the EIB Group deployed more than €9 billion through EIB Global, its arm for international partnerships and development finance. Of this figure, Africa received €3.1 billion – a third of the total volume.
According to the bank, investments deployed in Africa supported high-impact projects, with 46% dedicated to climate action and environmental sustainability, aligned with national priorities and the European Union’s “Global Gateway” initiative. These new investments aim to boost sustainable development, foster stability, and create jobs through win-win partnerships.
Through its financing and technical expertise, the EIB is a global leader in large-scale projects in water, global health, clean energy, transport and support for the private sector, with a special focus on young people and women, the statement stressed.
Over the past four years, EIB investments have mobilised €73 billion across Africa, the institution pointed out.
“In 2025, the EIB stepped up its support for win-win partnerships in Africa based on mutual respect. As the financing arm of the European Union, owned by its 27 member states, we are making a difference where it matters most: in high impact projects that people can feel on the ground and that communities across Africa can rely on,” said EIB Group President Nadia Calviño.
As a key partner in the EU “Global Gateway” investment strategy, in 2025, EIB Global reached its €100 billion investment mobilisation goal – well ahead of the 2027 deadline. In 2025, 75% of the Bank’s investments outside the European Union supported “Global Gateway” projects, mobilising over €20 billion, the statement said.
