Investment Bank
Dr. Werner Hoyer
President
Attention: EIB Board of Governors
Luxembourg, 28 December 2023
Dear Governors,
As my tenure as President of the European Investment Bank comes to an end, I wanted
to take this opportunity to thank you for your support and collaboration over the years.
In leaving the EIB, I do so with a sense of accomplishment and a deep appreciation for
the collective efforts that have shaped your bank - the EU Bank - into the influential
institution it is today.
I am immensely proud of the many things we have achieved together, including helping
Europe turn the page on the sovereign debt crisis, re-positioning the EIB as Europe’s
climate bank and establishing EIB Global, our dedicated arm for activities outside the
European Union.
My term in office ends at a time when our Union continues to face a range of challenges,
from the aftermath of the pandemic-induced economic downturn to the challenges to
our digital sovereignty, from the reverberations of the war in Ukraine and the intricate
dynamics of the Middle East to the diversification of the energy supply and our economic
competitiveness. In the face of this complex landscape, the EIB Group - comprising the
European Investment Bank and the European Investment Fund - has emerged as a
pivotal player. Not only has it effectively addressed the challenges at hand, but it has
also steadfastly adhered to its statutory mission of supporting cohesion among the
European regions.
It is with a mix of gratitude, nostalgia, and optimism for the future that I bid farewell to
this esteemed institution and all the remarkable individuals who have been part of its
success.

It has been a privilege to lead the EU Bank, and I am grateful for your support and
shared accomplishments that have marked my time in office. I very much look forward
to witnessing the continued success and impact of the EIB as it continues to thrive and
evolve under new leadership.
Yours sincerely,
