BAKU, Azerbaijan, October 6. The European
Investment Bank (EIB) Vice-President Marek Mora will visit
Kazakhstan on October 7-8, the European Union Delegation to
Kazakhstan said on its LinkedIn page.
"On 7-8 October, EIB Vice-President Marek Mora is visiting
Kazakhstan. The visit focuses on strengthening cooperation between
Kazakhstan and the European Investment Bank, advancing key
investment projects, deepening cooperation between Kazakhstan and
the European Union, and supporting the further development of the
Trans-Caspian Transport Corridor", the message says.
According to the EIB website, the bank has been active in
Central Asia since 2009, with agreements and operations totaling
about €750 million.
The bank's engagement in the region continues to expand,
including through the opening in 2026 of the EIB Regional
Representation for Central Asia in Tashkent.
At the inaugural EU-Central Asia Summit in April 2025, EIB
Global, the EIB Group's development arm, committed €365 million in
new financing to mobilize up to €1 billion for sustainable
transport, water management and climate resilience projects. Since
then, the total pipeline for Central Asia has grown to nearly €3
billion.
The EIB said its activities in the region support the European
Union's Global Gateway priorities, sustainable and inclusive
growth, transparency and regional cooperation.
The EIB's activities also contribute to the UN Sustainable
Development Goals and are aligned with the bank's Climate Bank
Roadmap. Its EIB Global strategic orientation guides investments
outside the European Union, with a focus on partnerships and
priority areas including clean energy and women's economic
empowerment.
In June 2026, the EIB announced that it was providing a €150
million framework loan to Kazakhstan to support the rehabilitation
of strategic road infrastructure along the Trans-Caspian Transport
Corridor (TCTC).
