EIB Headquarters

The headquarters of the European Investment Bank (EIB) on the Kirchberg Plateau in Luxembourg City is a monument to European economic policy and financial strength. The EIB is the bank of the European Union and the world's largest multilateral lender. The iconic West Building, designed by Sir Denys Lasdun and completed in 1980, was complemented in 2008 by the spectacular East Building by architect Christoph Ingenhoven, renowned for its innovative glass architecture and ecological sustainability. From here, billions in loans are managed annually for projects within and outside the EU, with a growing focus on climate action and green energy. As a supranational institution, the EIB enjoys the highest creditworthiness (AAA rating) in international financial markets. The bank's presence strengthens Luxembourg's role as one of the world's premier financial centers and attracts highly qualified experts from all member states. The buildings are part of the European Quarter and symbolize the stability and interconnectedness of European economies.
