- In 2014 and 2015, €25 billion of activities funded by the EU-budget and €35 billion in annual EIB loans (again €10 billion by budgetary means for risk mitigation, and €25 billion of extra loans supported by the capital increase); this totals €60 billion per year.
- Thus over the 2013-2015 period, we have an average of €60 billion a year additional EIB lending and EU budget injections to finance extra investment and working capital; this corresponds to about 0.5% of EU annual GDP. As discussed below, this could have a major impact on EU growth and employment.
- From 2016 to 2020, there would be continued €25 billion of additional activities funded by the EU budget.
