This report analyses the EIB Group's activity in cohesion regions in 2022. This year's edition focuses on the Group's contribution towards innovation for an inclusive, green and digital transition in line with the Innovation, Digital & Human Capital (IDHC) Orientation 2021-2027. The report starts with a review of recent economic trends in cohesion regions and their investments in innovation, followed by a presentation of the EIB Group's activities in these regions in 2022. The Group's support for economic, social and territorial cohesion is presented in relation to policy objectives, activity sectors, countries, contribution to the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and sector-specific project results. A number of case studies are used to illustrate the Group's activities and impact. The wider macroeconomic impact of the Group in cohesion regions is then discussed through the lens of a recent academic study. Finally, the role of digitalisation and innovation in cohesion regions is presented along with the range of tools deployed by the Group to support these policy objectives in cohesion regions.

This report analyses the EIB Group's activity in cohesion regions in 2023, with particular emphasis on targeted social investments in key systemic enablers in those regions, such as access to essential services (e.g. inclusive healthcare and education, social and affordable housing), digital connectivity and the growth of mid-caps and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), the latter with a particular focus on women entrepreneurs and youth. The Group's support for economic, social and territorial cohesion is presented in relation to its policy objectives, activity sectors, countries of operation, contribution to the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and sector-specific project outcomes. While acknowledging convergence between countries, the report's essay section observes an increasing heterogeneity at the regional level. It also provides insights into key barriers to cohesion and illustrates how targeted social investments can help unlock regional labour potential. A selection of case studies showcases the significant social impact that the European Investment Bank Group has achieved through the use of its full range of financial and technical expertise.

The report highlights the achievements and important contributions of the EIB Group's independent Evaluation function to evidence-based decision-making in 2021 and beyond. In 2021, the Evaluation function in the EIB Group's Inspectorate General (IG/EV) presented a record number of reports to the EIB and EIF Boards of Directors as compared to previous years, most of which fed directly into strategic Bank decisions, such as evaluations of: - Climate change adaptation, directly informing the preparation of the EIB Adaptation Plan; - Special Activities, helping the Bank deliberate on its future business mix; and - Climate awareness bonds, informing debates on reflecting climate considerations in pricing, which is particularly relevant for the EIB's climate ambitions. The approval of the EIB Group Evaluation Policy further signified the institution's commitment to accountability, learning and transparency. In 2022, three main themes will be in focus: - the EIB Group's support for SMEs; -the EIB's advisory support in Cohesion regions; and - the EIB's support for water and sanitation outside the European Union. The evaluation work programme is continuously evolving to reflect the Group's priorities.

Using the results of the EIB Investment Survey, this report examines how business investment cross Europe's regions was affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, how firms responded, how their structural transformation is progressing. Support for economic, social and territorial cohesion has always been a central goal of the European Union. Much progress has been made. However, large-scale economic shocks have often worked to exacerbate differences between regions. Cohesion policy can help prevent such effects strengthening resilience and supporting transformation, with a focus on regions that are less developed or in transition. This report assesses which regions are leading in transformative investments, such as those concerning innovation, digitalisation and sustainability. Using the results of the EIB Investment Survey, it examines how investment was affected by the COVID-19 shock, how firms responded to it and how they have progressed towards deeper structural transformation. In doing so, it also provides information on investment needs and gaps across regions and the challenges firms are facing, with a particular focus on transformation.

This unique insight into the corporate investment landscape in the European Union examines companies' finance needs and the constraints they face. The 2022 edition delves into the aftermath of the economic shock produced by the COVID-19 crisis and the readiness of firms to cope with the new massive shocks that are testing corporate resilience. The report assesses how response and recovery programmes put in place by the European Union and by national governments have helped firms, but also shows how firm perceptions of investment conditions are overshadowed again by recent events. In addition, the EIBIS EU overview presents firm reactions to outstanding structural transformation needs and more specifically the extent to which European firms are addressing the need to make their businesses more green and digital. It also highlights how European firms counter sudden shocks, for example by assessing their responsiveness to international trade disruptions. The survey is based on interviews with 12 000 companies across the 27 European Union countries, and it includes a benchmark sample from the United States. This overview provides the aggregated results for the European Union.
