03/04/2009 (Agence Europe) - The Governing Council of the European Investment Bank (the 27 EU finance ministers basically) have unanimously agreed to increase the EIB's finances by €67 billion to €232.4 billion, to help the EIB issue further loans to help fight the economic crisis. This capital injection, with immediate effect, will take the form of a supplementary drawing on the EIB's reserves without the EU Member States having to stump up any extra cash. (A.B. trans fl)
