A record-breaking €3 billion loan to aerospace giant Airbus, announced by the European Investment Bank (EIB), is an "illustration of how Europe is ramping up its capacity and strategic autonomy" in a world where it is being "attacked on all sides", European Investment Bank President Nadia Calviño has told Euronews.
The loan, announced by the EIB on Monday, is intended to boost Airbus's commercial aerospace and defence projects. It will support investments through to 2030 in projects across France, Germany and Spain.
It is the largest commercial loan ever granted by the Luxembourg-based lending institution.
