Mexico City — May 27, 2026 — The European Investment Bank (EIB) has signed a €150 million loan agreement with Bancomext, Mexico’s state development bank, to support private‑sector investments in climate action, circular economy, and social development. This marks the EIB’s first operation in Mexico since 2020 and a major step toward deepening cooperation between Mexico and the European Union under the Mexico Plan and the Global Gateway Investment Agenda.
The financing will help Bancomext channel funds to projects focused on renewable energy, energy efficiency, water and sanitation infrastructure, and sustainable mobility. It also includes a strong social component, promoting gender equality and women’s entrepreneurship.
EIB President Nadia Calviño highlighted that the partnership renews the alliance between the EIB and Mexico, boosting investment in innovative companies and sustainable projects that contribute to a more inclusive economy. Mexico’s Finance Secretary Édgar Amador Zamora emphasized that the collaboration will mobilize national capabilities around key investments for the country’s future.
Aligned with Mexico’s national priorities and the European Green Deal, the operation is expected to attract additional European and international partners to invest in low‑carbon technologies and sustainable infrastructure. By providing long‑term financing, the EIB and Bancomext aim to strengthen Mexico’s resilience, support private‑sector growth, and advance the country’s transition toward a greener, more equitable economy.
