Investing in a secure and competitive EU: A Conversation with EIB President Nadia Calviño

The European Union is actively working to find its place in the ever changing geopolitical landscape. With the war in Ukraine, a growing China and an unpredictable Washington, the European Investment Bank is working overtime to fund defense and much more throughout the EU. We sat down with the President of the EIB, Nadia Calviño, to discuss the many facets of the EU's investment goals under the current geopolitical environment. From defense to securing supply chains, without forgetting about affordable housing, we analyzed what investments the EU needed to make to bolster its security and competitiveness.
