 The European Investment Bank is the EU's financing institution. Its shareholders are the 27 member states of the EU. In 2010, about 88% of total EIB financing of €72 billion ($99.5 billion) went to projects in the EU. Outside the EU, EIB is active in more than 150 countries.<br/>EIBs lending for renewable energies grew almost five fold between 2007 and 2010. In 2008 lending account for 2.2 billion €, in 2009 lending were 4.2 billion € and in 2010 lending reached 6.2 billion €.

 Thus lending increased over the last five years. In the years from 2002 to 2004 avergae new lending per year amounted to less than $250 million; between 2005 and 2007 avergae new lending increased to $500 million per year.

 Since 2003 67 hydropower projects have been approved amounting to 3.7 billion USD in WBG contributions (US$3.2 billion for hydropower components) to support almost 9700 MW in project investments.

 The majority of the projects have been approved in Africa (Senegal, Democratic Republic of Congo, Sierra Leone, and Uganda) and Asia (People’s Democratic Republic of Laos, India), as well as several rehabilitation projects in Eastern Europe (Ukraine, Macedonia, and Georgia).

 Over the time the WBG has adapted product lines and financial instruments. Over the period 1992–2002, the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) and the International Development Association (IDA) accounted for 99% of the lending portfolio, and International Financial Corporation (IFC) the remaining 1%. During 2003–08, IBRD/IDA’s lending decreased significantly,to 58%—mainly because of an absolute decrease in IBRD lending. At the same time, IFC increased support (to 20%), as did carbon finance (to 5%), and guarantees (to 17%), reflecting increased private sector involvement.
@@ Line 30: / Line 30: @@
 The WBG’s assistance extends beyond lending—to technical support, knowledge sharing, policy dialogue, economic and sector<br/>work, and support during project preparation and implementation. In these roles, the WBG draws on a range of products and services which were developed after the fall of lending in the 1990s. These products in form of operational directives and safeguards, coupled with the ongoing development of tools such as Strategic Environmental Assessment and payments for environmental services offer the Bank opportunities to add imputs to hydropower efforts.
