 Introduction | 1  1 Introduction  The EIB Group (EIBG) does not fall within the scope of application of the European Union (EU)’s legislation applicable to credit institutions, in particular the Capital Requirements Directive and Regulation (Directive 2013/36/EU or ‘CRD’, Regulation 575/2013 or ‘CRR’, as amended from time to time, commonly referred to as ‘CRD/CRR package’), being the EU legal framework binding on institutions, financial holding companies and mixed financial holding companies. The EIB, therefore, is not legally obliged to meet the requirements of the above- mentioned Directive and Regulation. However, reflecting its statutory duty to conform with best banking practice (BBP), the EIB aims to comply both at individual and consolidated level with relevant EU banking legislative acts and guidelines, to the extent determined by its competent governing bodies and in line with the BBP Guiding Principles approved, as further described in Section 2.3 below.  Following on from the above, the December 2023 EIB’s Group Risk Management Disclosure Report (‘GRMDR’ or the ‘Report’) has been prepared in line with the prudential disclosure requirements as set out in Articles 431 to 455 of Part Eight of CRR1 and the related technical standards, guidelines and opinions of the European Banking Authority (‘EBA’), as applicable to the EIB under BBP and which are relevant and compatible with the EIB's statutory framework and business model.  These disclosure requirements and the corresponding European Commission Implementing Regulation 2  constitute a fundamental review of regulators’ strategy on banks’ Pillar III disclosures3.  Also in this report edition, disclosures are compatible with the EIB’s specificities, thus reflecting the non- applicability or non-availability of certain templates, as described in Section 2.3 below. Accordingly, the EIB Group’s disclosures are not fully comparable with those published by EU credit institutions, financial holding companies and mixed financial holding companies, directly within the subjective scope of the CRD/CRR banking package, owing that to the EIB’s status as an EU body pursuant to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union.  The EIB Group (also ‘the Group’) consists of the European Investment Bank (‘EIB’ or ‘the Bank’) and the European Investment Fund (‘EIF’ or ‘the Fund’). For a more detailed overview of the Group entities please refer to Appendix 15.1.  The information provided in this report is unaudited.  Due to rounding, numbers presented throughout this document may not add up precisely to the totals provided and percentages may not precisely reflect the absolute figures.  For the purpose of the certifications foreseen in Articles 435(1)(e) and 431(3) of the CRR, applicable to the EIB on an individual and consolidated basis as best banking practice, the EIB President confirms that the EIB’s risk management systems are adequate with regard to the institution's profile and strategy and that the disclosures in this report have been prepared in accordance with the EIB’s policies, internal processes, systems and controls.  1  2  3  Part Eight (Articles 431 to 455) of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council, of 26 June 2013 (CRR), as subsequently amended, notably by Regulation (EU) 2019/876 of the European Parliament and of the Council, of 20 May 2019.  Commission Implementing Regulation 2021/637 of 15 March 2021 laying down implementing technical standards with regard to public disclosures by institutions of the information referred to in Titles II and III of Part Eight of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 of the European  Parliament and of the Council and repealing Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1423/2013, Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/1555, Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/200, Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/2295 and Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 2022/2453. The Commission Implementing Regulation is based on the EBA’s final draft Implementing Technical Standards (ITS) on public disclosures by institutions of the information referred to in Titles II and III of Part Eight of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013, EBA/ITS/2020/04, EBA/ITS/2021/07 and EBA/ITS/2022/01.  The disclosure report in the context of the Basel Framework is also referred to as “Pillar III”, representing the third Basel pillar based on market discipline. 

 2 | December 2023 EIB Group Risk Management Disclosure Report  1.1 Executive summary  Business strategy and overall risk profile  The EIB Group Operational Plan 2024-2026 (“Group Operational Plan”) defines business targets for 2024 and orientations for 2025 and 2026. It summarises the major priorities and activities to deliver the EIB Group’s strategy for the next three years. It also proposes financing targets using the EIB Group's own and third-party resources. The approach to determining annual operational targets and orientations takes into account the Group’s objective of maintaining a robust credit standing, the long-term nature of its lending business and the granularity of its portfolio.  The EIB’s financing remains focused on its EIB’s Public Policy Goals (PPGs), which are aligned with the European Union’s political priorities. Acting as the financial arm of the European Union, the EIB Group plays a strong role, in delivering financial support and advisory services, to the real economy across all EU Member States.  EIB Group financing in support of climate action and environmental sustainability is expected to remain strong, covering all focus areas of the EU Green Deal, including greenhouse gas emission reductions, protecting against climate change impacts, and restoring and developing natural capital. This financing will therefore support the European Union in meeting the ambitious 2030 energy, climate and environmental targets and help countries outside the European Union to deliver on their environmental sustainability goals.  The EIB Group remains very vigilant to ensure that activity levels are both financially sustainable and aligned with the Group’s business model. The Group Operational Plan is deemed financially sustainable over the long-term.  The EIB Group manages credit, market and liquidity risk in line with its risk appetite and public mission. By pursuing a prudent financial policy, the Bank seeks to self-finance its growth in the long term.  The risk appetite is the level of risk that the Group is willing and able to incur in pursuing its activities in the context of its public mission and objectives. Key to this is the Group’s capacity to provide attractive long-term financing to serve EU objectives across all EU Member States (and beyond in partner countries). A primary pillar of the Group’s business model is the Bank’s high credit standing and its status as prime issuer in the capital markets underpinned by the long-term AAA issuer rating from the major credit rating agencies.  The Group’s risk appetite, as well as the processes and activities performed by the Group to manage its risk appetite, are formalised in the Group Risk Appetite Framework (‘RAF’) approved by the Board of Directors (BoD). The Group RAF covers the major financial risks and non-financial risks categories. It helps to embed a healthy organisational risk culture within the Group through the implementation and monitoring of measurable risk appetite metrics, which are subject to risk limits and (where applicable) cascaded further down within the Group entities.  Short and longer-term capital needs of the Group are closely monitored. The EIB Group’s key capital ratios are projected to remain well within their respective Risk Appetite limits.  The EIB Group Risk Appetite Statement 2023 as included in Section 3.2. together with the Group RAF Policy 2023 were approved by the EIB Board of Directors on 12 July 2023.  For a full overview of the key business developments of the Bank’s and the Fund’s activities over the last financial year please refer to, respectively, the Overview of the EIB Financial Report and the EIF’s Annual Report. For a full overview on financial and business planning of the EIB Group please refer to The EIB Group Operational Plan 2024-2026, which is available on the EIB website.  Operations outside the European Union  The EIB has decades of experience as a leading multilateral development bank, actively contributing to the European Union’s external policy objectives for nearly 60 years.  The EIB’s development finance role has moved forward and intensified in recent years through the establishment of EIB Global. EIB Global’s goal is to increase the impact of the EIB’s activities outside the European Union aligned with the European Union’s priorities. This role is enabled by EIB Global’s very close coordination with the European Commission and EU Delegations around the globe, but also by the exclusive presence of EU stakeholders in the Bank’s governance and shareholding. 

 Introduction | 3  EIB Global is an internal organisational unit within the EIB, operating under the Bank’s legal framework. It brings together EIB development staff under a dedicated management team. EIB Global has a dedicated capital allocation provided annually by the EIB Board of Directors under the Group Operational Plan, and benefits from a dedicated Board Advisory Group involving European development stakeholders. It has flexibility to establish its own policies and strategies and develop its own products. EIB Global nonetheless operates fully within EIB Group- wide policies on areas such as risk management, as determined by the EIB Board of Directors.  As part of its operating model, EIB Global maintains a strong local presence on the ground through a network of external representations located in partner countries where local presence has the greatest impact by bringing the Bank closer to its clients.  Most of EIB Global’s outstanding portfolio is covered by guarantees from the European Union in the form of either EU comprehensive guarantees or EU political risk guarantees or by guarantees from the EU Member States within the Cotonou Agreement framework. Under the current EU long-term budget (Multiannual Financial Framework), EIB Global’s business implementation relies on the new generation of EU mandates within the Neighbourhood, Development and International Cooperation Instrument (NDICI) – Global Europe framework to deliver on key priorities as the EU bank.  A summary of the EIB’s exposure in Russia, Belarus, Israel and Palestine is provided in the Overview of the EIB Financial Report 2023.  EIB support for Ukraine  Since 2014, the Bank has stopped its lending activities in Russia, consistent with the overall objectives of EU common foreign and security policy, including applicable sanctions.  Since the start of Russia’s invasion in 2022, and with the support of the European Commission, the EIB has provided EUR 2.0 billion in emergency relief and project support to Ukraine.  A major financial and advisory effort continues to be required to sustain Ukraine’s resilience during the ongoing war with Russia, while more support will be needed to rebuild the country once the war is over and to prepare Ukraine for EU membership.  In March 2023, the EIB’s Board of Directors approved the EU for Ukraine (EU4U) Initiative. This includes the setting-up of the EU4U Fund, a trust fund providing guarantees for EIB Global lending, impact finance investments, and grants (such as investment grants or interest rate subsidies). By the end of 2023, indicative pledges from EU Member States exceeded EUR 400 million, of which EUR 157million has already been firmly committed.  At the same time, the EIB set up the EU4U Advisory Programme, a EUR 100 million technical assistance package from the EIB’s own resources to support Ukraine and Moldova. The EU4U Fund will enable continued lending to Ukraine and will serve as a temporary bridge solution until longer-term EU measures become available. In parallel, the European Commission contributed to the EU4U Initiative by enabling EUR 100 million of new lending under the EIB’s EFSD+ Investment Window 1 for sovereign operations.  As detailed in the Overview of the EIB Financial Report, the EIB’s disbursed exposure in Ukraine is predominantly covered by EU Comprehensive Guarantees and EU Political Risk Guarantees under the EU External Lending Mandate.  Moreover, the Bank has compliance controls and procedures in place, including a dedicated Sanctions Compliance Programme, aiming to ensure that its activities, including those that may involve Russia, comply with all applicable sanctions.  The EIB remains committed to supporting the recovery and reconstruction of Ukraine by financing new critical economic and social infrastructure as needed, as soon as conditions permit it.  Quality of the loan portfolio  A significant portion of the Bank’s loan portfolio benefits from credit enhancements or recourse to European Union or EU Member State guarantees. Credit enhancements are largely in the form of portfolio guarantees from EU sovereigns, the EU budget, investment-grade banks and corporates and high-quality financial collateral and assignments of rights or pledges at transaction level. 

 4 | December 2023 EIB Group Risk Management Disclosure Report  The asset quality of the EIB’s risk portfolio remained stable in 2023. The share of best of borrower or guarantor internal ratings at investment grade level4 stood at 86.9% of the Bank’s risk portfolio at end 2023 (compared to 84.0% at end 2022).  Climate and sustainability  The remit of the EIB is to foster balanced and steady development within the European Union and beyond. Sustainability is at the heart of what the Bank does and it is integrated in lending, borrowing and advisory activities.  The EIB is committed to: (i) aligning all new operations with the principles and goals of the Paris Agreement for addressing climate change, (ii) gradually increasing EIB annual financing dedicated to climate action and environmental sustainability to exceed 50% of total financing by 2025 and beyond, and (iii) supporting EUR 1 trillion of investment in climate action and environmental sustainability in the decade from 2021-2030.  EIB Group financing in support of climate action and environmental sustainability is expected to remain strong, covering all focus areas of the EU Green Deal, including greenhouse gas emission reductions, protecting against climate change impacts, and restoring and developing natural capital. This financing will therefore support the European Union in meeting the ambitious 2030 energy, climate and environmental targets and help countries outside the European Union to deliver on their environmental sustainability goals.  In that context, the EIBG is continuing its effort to report on and increase gradually its portion of Taxonomy- aligned finance5.  In parallel, the EIB strives to be exemplary in terms of transparency and accountability. The Bank proactively publishes information about its projects and activities and engages regularly with a broad spectrum of stakeholders.  The EIB has established procedures and screening tools to assess, manage and monitor climate change-related physical and transition risks at the level of its portfolio, counterparties and individual projects financed.  Climate action and environmental sustainability aspects are taken into consideration throughout the assessment and monitoring of all projects. The Bank calculates and reports on the carbon footprint, in absolute and relative terms, for all directly financed projects that have emissions above a defined threshold. In addition, an economic cost of carbon is incorporated into the accounting of environmental externalities.  Furthermore, since January 2022, the EIB Group has applied the Paris Alignment of Counterparties (PATH) Framework.  In June 2023 the EIB, in cooperation with other multilateral development banks, released joint methodological principles, which provide a harmonised approach and clear guidance on how new financing operations are to be assessed for alignment with the Paris Agreement’s climate goals. These joint methodological principles complement the EIB Group’s Paris Alignment of Counterparties Framework, first introduced in the EIB Group Climate Bank Roadmap in 2020.  In terms of reporting, every year the Bank issues a Sustainability Report, including the carbon footprint of its financed projects, a carbon footprint report for its own emissions, a report in line with the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), as well as the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) disclosures and Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) disclosures.  The EIB Group also reports annually on progress in implementing its 2021-2025 Climate Bank Roadmap. All reports are available on a dedicated page on the Bank’s website.  Group Operational Plan and higher-risk activities  The 2024-2026 Group Operational Plan was approved by the EIB’s BoD in December 2023.  The EIB will continue to carefully target higher-risk activities and invest in the knowledge economy to boost innovation and drive long-term growth in the European Union. Maintaining the focus on these high impact generating activities, the EIB’s financing volumes for higher-risk activities and mandates are projected to grow over the planning period. We continue to strengthen our origination efforts to build up a solid pipeline of new  4  5  Above Baa3 Moody’s equivalent rating.  For statistics on the integration of the taxonomy as of December 2023, please refer to the 2023 Sustainability Report, which is available on the EIB website. 

 Introduction | 5  high-risk projects, giving attention to young, innovative firms that have been strongly hit by tightening credit conditions.  This overall increase in risk-taking ambition will also reinforce the support to the innovation, digital and human capital PPGs in the coming years. These smaller high-risk projects, which are also important considering the tightening financing conditions for young and innovative firms, require significant additional origination and delivery efforts but are expected to be highly impactful.  The Bank will continue to adapt its product offering to evolving market needs and to supplement the existing product palette, where required.  Further details on the Group Operational Plan approved are available on the EIB website.  EIB’s and EIF’s credit ratings  The Bank’s high credit rating is a core feature of the business model and facilitates broad and deep investor support, even in times of turbulence. The EIB retains a ‘AAA’ rating with a ‘Stable’ outlook from the three major credit rating agencies (Fitch, Moody’s and S&P) which affirmed the EIB’s rating in August, June and December 2023, respectively.  Ratings continue to be supported by the Bank’s relevant policy role for the EU Member States, the resilient credit quality of our loan portfolio, solid liquidity buffers, access to European Central Bank (ECB) refinancing facilities and very good quality of risk management.  The EIF’s AAA rating and stable outlook were also affirmed by all three major credit rating agencies. The agencies recognise the EIF’s exceptional capitalisation, very strong shareholder support and liquidity position.  In 2023, the rating agencies focused on the EIB’s role in the current challenging macroeconomic and geopolitical environment, while monitoring the implications of the G20 MDBs Capital Adequacy Framework (CAF) review. The rating agencies seemed reassured by the limited impact on the EIB’s asset quality and performance from the past few years’ crises.  The Bank continues to receive best-in-class ratings from leading sustainability rating agencies. 

 6 | December 2023 EIB Group Risk Management Disclosure Report  1.2 Key risk metrics  Template EU KM1 — Key metrics template  The template below provides key metrics on capital and liquidity regulatory requirements pursuant to Article 447 of the CRR. These metrics form part of the Group’s overall risk management across individual risk types, in addition to the Group’s specific internal risk metrics, and consequently are integrated across the strategic planning, risk appetite framework, stress testing framework and risk reporting processes.  Disclosure requirements related to the Supervisory Review and Evaluation Process (SREP) are not included in the template as those are not applicable to the EIB.  The format and headings of the templates are consistent with the relevant European Commission Implementing Regulation as referred to in this report (notably with EBA/ITS/2020/04 on public disclosures), adapted on the basis of the BBP Guiding Principles to reflect compatibility with the EIB’s statutory framework.  Amounts are in EUR million, unless otherwise indicated  a  c  e  31.12.2023  30.06.2023  31.12.2022  Available own funds (amounts)  1  Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) capital  79,355  77,920  76,813  2  Tier 1 capital  79,355  77,920  76,813  3  Total capital  79,355  77,920  76,813  Risk-weighted exposure amounts  4  Total risk-weighted exposure amount  249,247  227,370  222,405  Capital ratios (as a percentage of risk-weighted exposure amount)  5  Common Equity Tier 1 ratio (%)  31.8%  34.3%  34.5%  6  Tier 1 ratio (%)  31.8%  34.3%  34.5%  7  Total capital ratio (%)  31.8%  34.3%  34.5%  Combined buffer requirement (as a percentage of risk-weighted exposure amount)  8  Capital conservation buffer (%)  2.5%  2.5%  2.5%  EU 8a  Conservation buffer due to macro-prudential or systemic risk identified at the level of a Member State (%)  0.0%  0.0%  0.0%  9  Institution specific countercyclical capital buffer (%)  0.6%  0.5%  0.3%  Buffer for systemic relevance (self-imposed) 6  1.0%  1.0%  1.0%  11  Combined buffer requirement (%)  4.1%  4.0%  3.8%  EU 11a  Overall capital requirements (%)  12.1%  12.0%  11.8%  Leverage ratio  13  Total exposure measure  665,029  663,207  660,688  14  Leverage ratio (%)  11.9%  11.7%  11.6%  Leverage ratio buffer and overall leverage ratio requirement (as a percentage of total exposure measure)  EU 14e  Overall leverage ratio requirement (%)7  3.5%  3.5%  3.5%  Liquidity Coverage Ratio8  15  Total high-quality liquid assets (HQLA) (Weighted value -average)  60,883  76,012  86,255  6  7  8  The template was modified to highlight the self-imposed nature of the systemic relevance capital buffer, as described in Section 4.1.

The decrease in the CET1 is largely driven by the delivery of higher-risk new business and a review of the regulatory capital treatment of equity fund investments. The ratio’s decrease is further explained by the waterfall chart below.  The biggest underlying variations are due to:  the negative impact from riskier new business in 2023. New business signed during 2023 attracted a higher risk weight compared to the stock, having an overall impact of -4.74% on the CET1 Group capital ratio;  the positive effects of the net surplus generated over 2023 and a positive evolution in the risk of the stock;  the negative impact from other elements such as an increase in operational risk charges.  Figure 2: Drivers of the EIB Group’s CET1 ratio evolution in 2023  Drivers of the Group's CET1 ratio evolution in 2023  40%  2.52%  38%

The Group Risk Management Disclosure Report should be read in conjunction with the EIB Group consolidated financial statements under EU-AD, unless specified otherwise.  Moreover, the quantitative information in this report, as well as the underlying data, have been reconciled with the EIB Financial Report 2023, where possible.  Note however that some measures presented in this report differ significantly from those in the financial statements in terms of methodology (such as exposure at default as opposed to the book value of a loan or accounting vs. regulatory treatment of specific provisions). Therefore, comparing the risk measures of this report to accounting measures in the financial statements is not always relevant and/or meaningful.  The following table presents a high-level reconciliation between the EIB consolidated balance sheet prepared under EU-AD and the regulatory Exposures at Default (EAD) subject to credit risk and counterparty credit risk calculation.

The BBP Guiding Principles is a high-level document, defining the overall principles and the general scope of banking rules and guidelines applicable to the EIB as BBP. It also sets forth assessment criteria aimed at determining the rules which do not fully or partially apply, or which are adapted due to the specific features, nature, policy, mission, tasks and governance structure of the Bank. The document is regularly reviewed by the EIB’s governing bodies and is available on the EIB’s official website.  According to the “Disclosure and transparency” principle: “The Bank shall, where appropriate, publish information that is easily accessible and fairly reflects its financial condition, performance, risk exposures, risk management strategies and corporate governance policies and processes.”  In applying the BBP Guiding Principles, the Bank shall implement and follow EU legislative acts and guidelines applicable for commercial banks except for those rules, or parts of them, which are adapted or which the Bank does not fully or partially apply, based on the internal assessment mentioned above. The Bank may also determine the implementation date from which it shall follow such rules. When the Bank follows adapted rules or does not apply certain provisions, where appropriate, mitigating measures in line with the Bank’s public policy  11  Regulatory EAD including the securitisation exposures and before credit risk mitigation (CRM) substitution.

The disclosures are published as soon as practically possible after the publication of the respective consolidated financial statements under EU-AD. The current and all previous GRMDRs are available on the EIB’s website.  EIB Group Risk Management Disclosure Policy  The GRMD Report is prepared in accordance with the EIB Group Risk Management Disclosure Policy (“the Policy”) disciplining the EIB Group’s approach for complying with the risk management best practice public disclosure requirements, as applicable to the EIB Group, the approval process and governance of preparation of disclosure.  Approval process  This report and its external publication have been approved by the EIB’s BoD on the basis of a proposal by the EIB’s Management Committee (‘MC’) and upon the recommendation of the EIB Board Committee on Risk Policy (hereinafter ‘RPC’ or ‘Risk Policy Committee’). In parallel to the EIB BoD, the report is also distributed for information and discussion to the EIB’s Audit Committee (‘AC’). Any AC recommendations thereon are taken into account for the next reporting iteration.  The general approval process of this report entails thorough consultation with the EIF and the participation of its representatives in the main steps of the process, notably in the discussions and approvals at the level of the EIB’s governing bodies.  12  For instance, the data used to populate the disclosure templates are based on the statutory or consolidated accounts which are produced under EU-AD accounting standards. Consequently, certain parts of the templates designed to capture IFRS specific accounting elements/concepts are not applicable. 

 14 | December 2023 EIB Group Risk Management Disclosure Report  Governance and risk management  This chapter provides an overview of the EIB Group’s risk governance structure, outlining the key roles and responsibilities regarding risk-taking and oversight in the Group, as well as its key governance arrangements.  Risk management structure and organisation  Both the EIB and the EIF have established their risk management functions responsible for risk management on an institutional level and in respect of financial and non-financial risks. Each EIB Group entity has defined specific risk management policies, procedures and controls in line with the Group Risk Management Charter (‘GRMC’) and any applicable Group risk management policies, described below.  Group Risk Management Charter and Framework  The GRMC codifies the sound principles-based approach to risk management to ensure that Group risks are managed in an effective and consistent manner and defines the Group Risk Management Framework (‘GRMF’).  The GRMF, extending across all relevant business lines of the EIB Group, aims to fully recognise the economic substance of all EIB Group risk exposures and to enable the Group to make fully informed decisions on risk-taking.  The GRMC sets out the key principles of the GRMF aimed at ensuring that all Group risks are overseen and managed in an effective and consistent manner.  The GRMC applies on an individual basis and on a consolidated basis, which means the situation as if the EIB formed together with its subsidiaries (entities controlled by the EIB) a single entity (“on a consolidated basis”). The procedural and organisational aspects are implemented by GRMC implementing provisions, approved by the EIB and the EIF.  The following principles, as defined by the GRMC, are the fundamentals of the Group Risk Management Framework and shall be adhered to at all times:  Risk culture: The Group promotes a sound risk culture in the performance of its activities.  Best banking practice: The Group operates in adherence to best banking practice applicable to it.  Risk appetite framework: Risk awareness and sustainability of the business model of the Group are supported by the application of the Group Risk Appetite Framework (Group RAF).  Risk management policies, procedures, risk limits and controls: The EIB as the parent entity sets and oversees risk management policies, procedures, risk limits and controls related to Group risks and commensurate with the entities’ respective statutes and activities, in compliance with the principles of the Charter.  Proactive, adaptive and ongoing risk management: Each institution continuously identifies, assesses, measures, monitors, mitigates and reports risks inherent to its activities.  Capital and liquidity adequacy: Strategic decision-making shall be supported by a comprehensive and forward-looking view of the Group’s capital and liquidity resources in relation to its risk profile and operating environment.  Information exchange, risk reporting and data aggregation: Appropriate arrangements shall be in place to enable the exchange and aggregation of information and data across the Group for the purposes of sound and effective risk management.  Organisational structure functions  The EIB Group Risk and Compliance Directorate (‘GR&C’) is responsible for both financial risks and non-financial risks relating to the EIB Group’s business.  The Directorate independently identifies, assesses, monitors and reports on the risks to which the Group is exposed in its capacity as an independent second line of defence with direct access to the Bank’s governing bodies.  The GR&C is headed by the Group Chief Risk Officer (‘GCRO’). Without prejudice to the statutory responsibilities of the President and the EIB Management Committee, respectively, the GCRO reports on Group risks to the EIB 

 Governance and risk management | 15  Management Committee under the oversight of the MC member in charge of risk. The GCRO participates in all MC meetings relating to matters within their terms of reference and relevant meetings of the other EIB governing bodies. In particular, the GCRO has direct access to the Risk Policy Committee of the EIB BoD and can write directly to and communicate with the EIB BoD on any matter of their field of attribution. Furthermore, the GCRO is invited to relevant meetings of the EIF BoD and has direct access to the EIF’s Chief Executive and Deputy Chief Executive. The GCRO also meets regularly with the EIB Audit Committee and is invited to meet with the EIF Audit Board.  The Group Chief Compliance Officer (‘GCCO’) is responsible for independent oversight of compliance risk and a number of non-financial risks at Group level, in consultation with the EIF and under oversight of the GCRO, ensuring identification, assessment and measurement of the Group’s compliance risks and monitoring of these risks. Without prejudice to the responsibilities of the GCRO, the EIB Compliance function, headed by the GCCO, has direct access to the President, the MC, the AC as well as the EIB Board Working Group on Tax and Compliance and the Ethics and Compliance Committee.  The detailed EIB GR&C organisational structure is set out in the figure below to divisional level.  Figure 3: Organisational structure of the EIB Group Risk and Compliance Directorate 

 16 | December 2023 EIB Group Risk Management Disclosure Report  The EIF ensures appropriate risk identification and management through its Risk Management Department (see figure below for the structure of the EIF’s Risk Management), which is responsible for measuring and managing the main risk types of the Fund and ensuring compliance with best market practices. The EIB as the parent entity of the Group is responsible for exercising oversight of Group risks via the GCRO, while respecting the statutory, legal and governance requirements that apply to the Group’s entities individually.  Figure 4: Organisational structure of EIF Risk Management  3.2 Risk management framework  Group Capital Management  Below are described the main components of the overall Group Capital Management cycle integrated into the EIB GRMF.  Figure 5: EIB Group Capital Management cycle  Group Internal Capital and Liquidity Adequacy Assessment Process  As part of the BBP framework applicable to the EIB, the EIB has established a Group Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (‘ICAAP’) and a Group Internal Liquidity Adequacy Assessment Process (‘ILAAP’). The ICAAP/ILAAP are key elements of the Supervisory Review and Evaluation Process (SREP) required under Pillar II 

 Governance and risk management | 17  of the Basel III framework, further transposed into the CRR and applicable to regulated banks. Although the EIB Group is not subject to the SREP process, the ICAAP/ILAAP internal processes are considered applicable, as required by BBP, to the EIB Group.  The ICAAP/ILAAP are reviewed as part of the internal Review and Evaluation Process (REP), in accordance with the Review and Evaluation Process Guiding Principles approved by the BoD. The ICAAP/ILAAP are internal processes assessing the capital and liquidity adequacy of an institution, designed to be proportionate to the nature, scale and complexity of the activities of a financial institution.  In alignment with the BBP, the EIB Group has established effective and comprehensive strategies and processes, in order to ensure that the Group maintains adequate capital levels commensurate with the nature and level of the risks to which it is exposed. The ICAAP is an integral part of the overall risk management framework as it supports the EIB Group’s strategic decision-making and ensures that the institution maintains adequate capitalisation on an ongoing basis and operates within its Group risk appetite.  An annual risk identification and assessment process, which is part of the ICAAP and ILAAP, ensures that the Group identifies all of the risks to which it is exposed in the pursuit of its business. The Group subsequently assesses the identified risks in terms of materiality and incorporates the material risk types, as opportune, into stress testing and provides for capitalisation and liquidity buffers, as needed.  The EIBG’s ICAAP covers the Group and its constituent entities and provides for these an overview of the capital adequacy assessment across relevant solvency metrics from a point-in-time and forward-looking perspective, over a five-year horizon, under both baseline and adverse scenarios. In this light, it aims to identify and assess the potential vulnerabilities of the EIBG’s capitalisation in a timely fashion, drawing practical conclusions and measures to ensure that the EIB Group’s own funds remain adequate in relation to the risks to which it is exposed. The EIB Group ICAAP provides insight into the Group´s strategic decision-making through the Group OP process and within the GRMF.  The Group ILAAP process is described in greater detail under Section 9.2.  The governance process regarding the approval of the Group ICAAP is similar to that of the disclosure report described in Section 2.6 and in line with the Group risk approval process. Upon the recommendation of the RPC, the BoD ultimately approves the Group ICAAP/ILAAP documents annually. The Group ICAAP/ILAAP documents are also distributed for information and discussion to the EIB’s AC and additionally, the Group ILAAP is submitted to the Central Bank of Luxembourg (‘BCL’). Any AC or BCL recommendations are taken into account for the next reporting iteration.  In line with the applicable regulations and the three-lines-of-defence model applied by the EIB Group, the Group ICAAP/ILAAP processes are subject to an annual review by Internal Audit. The internal models, which provide input into the processes, are regularly validated in line with the EIB Group’s applicable policy.  Group Risk Appetite Framework  The EIB Group’s risk appetite is articulated in the Group Risk Appetite Statement (‘Group RAS’) document, which communicates to management and the oversight bodies of all Group entities, employees and other key stakeholders (such as in public disclosures), the risk profile the EIB Group is willing to assume in the pursuit of its strategy.  The main building blocks through which the Group RAS is derived and embedded are listed below:  Stakeholders’ expectations and public mission;  Strategy and business models of the Group entities;  Risk Identification process;  Risk Appetite Statement.  The Group’s risk appetite setting process starts by identifying its main stakeholders and their respective expectations. Subsequently, the process entails the assessment of the Group entities’ long-term policy objectives and business models in conjunction with the identification and assessment of the main risk categories to which the Group is exposed, which subsequently is articulated into the Group RAS and the related risk metrics.  The core of the Group’s business model is to provide financing at attractive terms to promote the attainment of the European Union’s policy objectives to which the Group entities play an integral and essential role. 

 18 | December 2023 EIB Group Risk Management Disclosure Report  The EIB mainly funds itself through the capital markets at relatively attractive terms and it passes on its attractive funding cost to clients by offering debt and equity-type financing either directly or via intermediated channels. The EIF finances its activities out of its capital base and through third-party mandates and cooperation schemes with public and private counterparts, including the EIB and the European Union, represented by the European Commission (EC).  The Group originates business either (a) at its own risk; (b) through a risk-sharing mechanism by which a third party (such as the European Commission, Member States) provides credit enhancement to the Bank and/or to the EIF; or (c) on behalf of third parties at their own risk. A large part of the Bank’s loan portfolio is secured through credit guarantees and collateral or recourse to EU Member States. Exposures to the latter benefit from the EIB’s Preferred Creditor Status (‘PCS’) based on international law practice and the EIB’s statutory framework13.  Furthermore the EIB Group mobilises additional funds from other parties (private investors, European Commission, Member States) to maximise the financing impact within the scope of the EU policy goals. In this catalysing role, the Group thereby creates a multiplier effect.  In order to provide financing on attractive terms, the Group needs to maintain broad access to attractive funding from the capital markets by preserving the EIB’s AAA rating14, which is mainly a function of its capital resources15, available liquidity, risk management practices and shareholders’ support. Consequently, for risk appetite purposes, the Group operates in such a way as to retain its AAA rating.  The Group RAS integrates all the elements described above by stating the level of appetite for the Group by each risk category and by translating these statements into risk metrics and related limits that constitute the Group RAF.  For financial risks quantitative limits are set and for non-financial risks quantitative limits have also been expanded to cover all non-financial risk categories during the reference year.  Group Risk Appetite Statement16  The EIB Group is committed to retaining its long-term AAA rating, which is a primary pillar of its business model. To this end, the EIB Group has implemented a strong risk management framework supported by a multitude of statutory, regulatory and internally developed risk appetite metrics.  As a public financial institution, the Group does not focus on making profits from speculative exposures to risks. As a consequence, the Group does not consider its treasury or funding activities as profit-maximising centres and does not engage in speculative operations.  The EIB Group is focused on the stability of earnings and preservation of the economic value of own funds in order to ensure the sustainability and self-financing of its growth in the long term. The EIB Group monitors and manages its ability to fulfil this dual objective through related risk appetite metrics.  The EIB Group is committed to maintaining its business model and strategy whilst ensuring a robust operating environment with regard to operational, strategic, climate and reputational risks through a strong internal control framework supported by risk appetite metrics capturing a broad range of risks.  The EIB Group is committed to doing business in an ethical and fair way with zero tolerance for fraud, money laundering and financing of terrorism and from being used, intentionally or unintentionally, for criminal activities. The EIB Group aligns with best practice anti-money laundering and combating the financing of terrorism standards, promoting high ethical and professional behaviour in the financial sector. For this purpose, the Group promotes a strong compliance and risk culture and manages conduct and compliance risks through an appropriate internal control framework and specific risk appetite metrics.  The EIB Group takes concrete actions to counter the rapid growth in ICT (Information and Communications Technology), information security and cyber risks and the increasing severity and impacts that these risks pose to the Group’s business operation and to its reputation towards stakeholders, clients and employees.  13  14  15  16  Except for exposures in the form of debt instruments with collective action clauses.  To some extent the preservation of the AAA rating is subject to external parties’ (credit rating agencies’) judgment, hence not entirely under the Group’s control.  Commonly measured by credit rating agencies with respect to the consolidated risk position. The Group RAS 2023 and Group RAF Policy 2023 were approved by the BoD on 12 July 2023. 

 Governance and risk management | 19  The EIB Group is committed to preserving the reputation of the Group amongst its stakeholders in line with the highest standards and is monitoring risk appetite metrics related both to external and internal developments, such as media coverage and staff engagement and well-being.  The EIB Group is committed to supporting the Paris Agreement in order to limit the impact of climate change and related environmental, economic and social systemic risks. As the climate bank and a leader in climate- related financing, the EIB Group aims to adapt its processes and risk management framework to address the financial and non-financial risks induced by climate change and incorporate climate and environmental risk- related considerations into the ongoing management of operations and business priorities.  Group Stress Testing Framework  As part of the Group Stress Testing Framework, the EIB Group develops a Stress Testing Programme on an annual basis, which identifies the list of stress and sensitivity tests to be performed over a year, by the Group or by each Group entity, and which is approved by the MC and the Chief Executive of the EIF for its relevant parts.  Group Recovery Planning  The Group Recovery Plan (Group RP) describes how the EIB Group would identify and manage actual and potential crises threatening the Group’s capital adequacy and/or liquidity position. The Group RP covers the recovery stage for both capital adequacy and liquidity indicators and the contingency stage for capital adequacy indicators. The contingency stage for liquidity indicators is covered by the Group Contingency Funding Plan (Group CFP), while reference is made to the latter also at the recovery stage for liquidity indicators. The Group RP complements the Group RAF as it elaborates on a range of contingency and recovery options and actions in response to breaches of risk appetite limits/recovery triggers, in order to avoid exceeding the Group’s risk capacity.  Group Capital Sustainability Policy  The Group Capital Sustainability Policy (‘GCSP’) aims to ensure that the Group’s business strategy and Operational Plan remain sustainable from a capital perspective, as in that the Group’s and the Group Entities’ capital risk metrics remain within their risk appetite limits over the planning horizon. The Group Capital Plan (“GCP”) enacts the key objectives of the Group Capital Sustainability Policy, by determining the maximum available capital headroom and allocating the capital to be deployed through the Group Operational Plan. The GCP ensures that capital is used efficiently to support the Group’s mission and the delivery and implementation of the Group entities’ business plans, while safeguarding the Bank’s AAA rating and retaining flexibility to respond to market downturns and new EU policy initiatives.  Group Risk Reporting  The GCRO is responsible for overseeing internal risk reporting to the MC, the BoD, the RPC and the AC. Several risk reporting processes are in place within the EIB Group to support managerial decisions with a focus on the various risks and limit monitoring. Based on the function, risk monitored, audience and purpose, reports may have a customised level of detail and be produced with frequencies ranging from daily to quarterly as needed.  An overarching EIB Group Risk Report provides to senior management the overview of the Group‘s financial and non-financial risks, including regular monitoring of Group and entity-level RAF metrics. Quarterly and monthly versions of this report provide different levels of detail to management and support managerial decision-making for the governing bodies of the EIB (MC and BoD). The report is also provided to and discussed at the RPC and AC on a regular basis.  The EIB Group aims at complying with BCBS (Basel Committee on Banking Supervision) 239 principles in its risk reporting activity. 

 20 | December 2023 EIB Group Risk Management Disclosure Report  3.3 Corporate governance  Pursuant to its Statute, the EIB has four statutory bodies. Three decision-making bodies — the Board of Governors, the Board of Directors17 and the Management Committee (the executive management board of the EIB) — and one independent control body, the Audit Committee:  Figure 6: EIB corporate governance  While the President of the EIB is also the chair of the EIB BoD and the MC, the EIB President does not have voting rights on the BoD. The chair of both bodies serves the purpose of guaranteeing continuity in decision-making between the non-resident BoD and the resident MC. In accordance with the EIB’s Rules of Procedure, the President also chairs Board Committees18. In this context, the President shall invite a Board expert with enhanced banking qualifications on risks to co-chair meetings of the RPC.  The BoG, which is the highest governing body of the EIB and appoints the members of the BoD and of the MC, including the EIB President, is chaired by each member of the BoG in annual rotation according to the order of Protocol of the Member States established by the Council of the European Union. Thus, the chair of the BoG does not belong to either the BoD or the MC.  Further information on the EIB’s statutory bodies is available in the annual EIB Group Corporate Governance Report published on the EIB’s official website.  Number of directorships held by members of the management bodies  Individual curriculum vitae and declarations of interest are available on the EIB’s official website for members of both the BoD and the MC.  In accordance with the Code of Conduct for the Members of the MC, members of the MC shall not, in a personal capacity, assume executive or supervisory functions in corporate structures or maintain existing executive or supervisory functions when joining the Bank. This prohibition does not apply when the executive or supervisory function is performed at the request of the Bank and is connected to the Bank’s work.  17  18  The Board of Directors also includes three non-voting experts as well as three alternate experts.  Consistent with best banking practice, the following committees exist within the EIB BoD: the Risk Policy Committee, the Equity Participation Policy Committee and the Committee on Staff Remuneration and Budget. 

 Governance and risk management | 21  In accordance with their respective Codes of Conduct, members of both the MC and of the BoD shall disclose to the Ethics and Compliance Committee (ECC) any official or professional position they hold at the time of their appointment, as well as any subsequent changes thereto.  Information regarding the recruitment policy for the selection of members of the management bodies and their actual knowledge, skills and expertise  The Appointment Advisory Committee, pursuant to Articles 23.a.2 and 27.8 of the Rules of Procedure of the EIB, shall give an opinion on candidates' suitability to perform the duties of a member of the EIB MC (or those of a full member or observer of the EIB’s AC) before the Board of Governors makes the statutory appointment.  In the context of the assessment of the collective knowledge and expertise of the MC pursuant to the Operating Rules of the Appointment Advisory Committee, the Committee shall consult the President of the Bank for nominations to the MC on any potential specific need within the MC, at the time of appointment. The Secretary General shall inform the nominating Member State of any such specific need within the MC, at the time of a vacancy.  In accordance with the Statute of the Bank, the EIB’s Board of Directors consists of 28 directors and 31 alternate directors who shall be chosen from persons whose independence and competence are beyond doubt and appointed by the BoG for a collective five-year mandate that is renewable. To broaden its professional expertise, the BoD has made use of the possibility of co-opting non-voting experts (three non-voting experts as well as three alternate experts). The end of their mandate coincides with that of the entire BoD.  In accordance with Article 23.a, first paragraph, of the Rules of Procedure of the Bank, the members of the MC shall be persons of independence and competence and have experience in financial, banking and/or EU matters. They shall at all times be of sound integrity and enjoy high reputation, and possess sufficient knowledge, skills and expertise to perform their duties.  Information on the knowledge, skills and expertise of members of the EIB management bodies is available in their individual curriculum vitae on the EIB’s website.  Information on diversity19 policies with regard to the members of the management bodies  In accordance with the Rules of Procedure of the Bank, the overall composition of the BoD and of the MC shall aim to reflect an adequately broad range of expertise as well as gender diversity.  Gender diversity in the BoD is reported in Annex 2 to the annual EIB Group Corporate Governance Report available on the EIB’s website.  Risk Policy Committee  Within the BoD, the Risk Policy Committee (RPC) is the EIB’s risk committee, composed of nine members of the BoD20. Its role is to discuss and advise the BoD on the Bank’s risk policies, including those policies that are relevant for aspects of the EIB Group regarding risk appetite, tolerance and strategy. The RPC provides non-binding opinions and/or recommendations to the BoD so as to facilitate the decision-making process of the BoD.  More specifically, the Committee advises the BoD on the EIB’s policies regarding overall risk appetite, tolerance and strategy by reviewing the EIB Group Risk Management Framework with respect to credit, market and liquidity risks. It provides opinions and makes recommendations to the BoD as to whether the policies related to identification, assessment and management of risks are appropriate to the Bank's risk profile. Furthermore, it discusses policies associated with all risks relevant to the EIB Group. The Committee advises the BoD on risk policies by reviewing and providing opinions and/or recommendations to the BoD on the following high-level risk policy documents upon proposal from the Bank:  19  20  Reflecting the EIB statutory framework, the process and rules relating to the nomination and appointment of the members of the EIB governance bodies are all not based on the same suitability requirements applicable to commercial banks, namely the diversity requirements in the CRD and in the joint European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) and European Banking Authority (EBA) Guidelines on the assessment of the suitability of members of the management body and key function holders; hence, no diversity policy as such is in place in that regard.  Members are nominated by the Member States or groups of Member States that nominate alternate Directors as specified under Article9(2) of the Statute. Nominations shall be effective upon recording of receipt by the chair of the Board. 

 22 | December 2023 EIB Group Risk Management Disclosure Report  Group Risk Management Charter;  Group Capital Sustainability Policy;  Group Risk Appetite Framework;  Group Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (‘ICAAP’);  Group Internal Liquidity Adequacy Assessment Process (‘ILAAP’);  Group Contingency Funding Plan;  Group Recovery Plan;  Group Stress Testing Framework.  The Committee also reviews and discusses:  The Group Capital Plan, and recommends the capital allocation as part of the Operational Plan;  The EIB Group Risk Report on a quarterly basis;  The annual report prepared by the Bank on the implemented restructurings of existing operations;  The main changes to the Credit Risk Guidelines (CRGs) and Financial Risk Guidelines (FRGs), as approved from time to time by the MC of the Bank;  Any written contributions submitted to it by the GCRO, in accordance with Article 11.3 of the Rules of Procedure.  Further details on the RPC Terms of Reference are available on the EIB’s website. In the course of 2023, the RPC met six times.  Three lines of defence  The EIB Group’s internal control functions and risk management systems are consistent with the three-lines-of- defence model. As a first line of defence, the front units are responsible, within their respective areas, for managing risks within the established set of limits and boundaries.  Amongst other functions, the second line of defence includes the respective Risk Management and Compliance functions as well as IT resources. Financial Control as a second line of defence function is responsible for the maintenance, development and oversight of the internal control framework. The second line of defence also includes functions in the EIB's Projects Directorate and the Legal Directorate.  The third line of defence is ensured by the Internal Audit function, which provides an independent review of the risk management practices and internal control framework and reports to the AC or to the EIF's Audit Board, as relevant.  At both the EIB and the EIF, the segregation of duties is supported by the fact that internal control functions are separate functions, each having direct access to the relevant executive body (President/MC for the EIB, Chief Executive for the EIF) and to the BoD.  Furthermore, the Audit Committee has an internal and specific review and evaluation process (the “EIB REP”) in place. This process has been framed by the EIB’s Review and Evaluation Guiding Principles, available on the Bank’s website, which were complemented by implementing rules and a methodology specific to the EIB Group. Globally, this framework is based on the EBA’s Guidelines on the Supervisory Review and Evaluation Process, while considering the EIB’s specific nature, policy mission, tasks and governance structure. The EIB REP supports the AC in its role to ensure that the Bank complies with applicable BBP.

The amount of securitisation exposures in  the banking book deducted from own funds stands at EUR 533 million, equivalent to EUR 6,663 million of RWEAs (EUR 87 million, equivalent to EUR 1,087 million of RWEAs at the end of 2022).  As of 30 June 2023, no capital charge for market risk was required as the Group does not have a trading book and the net FX position of  the Group did not exceed 2% of the regulatory own funds (the “de minimis exemption”) whereas as of 31 December 2023, there is a capital charge for FX risk as the net FX position of the Group exceeded the “de minimis exemption”.

This percentage corresponds to the sum of the total capital ratio requirements of 8% pursuant to Article 92 of the CRR and the combined buffer requirements (capital conservation buffer, buffer for systemic relevance and countercyclical buffer)24.  Capital conservation buffer  In accordance with the CRD, a capital conservation buffer of 2.5% of RWEA is established above the regulatory minimum capital requirement of 8% of RWEA. The buffer must be met with Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) instruments.  Buffer for systemic relevance  Although the EIB is not a global systemically important bank (G-SIB), the EIB has decided to provide for an additional buffer for systemic relevance of 1.0% CET1. It should be stressed that the EIB’s self-imposed buffer for systemic relevance is based on an independent decision of the Group for the reference disclosure period.  Countercyclical buffer  The countercyclical capital buffer (CCyB) is designed to counter procyclicality in the financial system 25. The countercyclical buffer rate is set by each jurisdiction on a quarterly basis. Banks have to apply a weighted-average countercyclical buffer rate based on the geographical composition of their credit portfolio.  24  25  As mentioned above, Pillar 2 (SREP) capital requirements are not applicable to the EIBG.

The regulatory capital of the Group is determined in accordance with the CRR, as amended. There are no restrictions in the calculation of own funds. As of 31 December 2023, the CET1 of the Group consists of the following elements, net of expected losses and provisions:  Main CET1 items, such as: (i) paid-in capital which stood at EUR 21,711 million; (ii) retained earnings of EUR 43,853 million; (iii) General Loan Reserve of EUR 1,883 million; (iv) Special Activities Reserve amounting to EUR 11,195million; and (v) independently reviewed net surplus for the financial year attributable to equity holders of the Bank of EUR 2,407 million.  Deductions from CET1 items concerning: (i) negative amounts resulting from the calculation of expected loss amounts of EUR 637 million; (ii) insufficient coverage for non-performing exposures (“NPE backstop”) of EUR 358 million; (iii) exposures deducted from CET1 as an alternative to the application of 1250% risk weight relative to securitisation positions of EUR 533 million; and (iv) intangible assets of EUR 96 million.  Prudential filters of CET1 capital related to additional value adjustments of EUR -69 million (prudent valuation).  In line with its Statute, the Bank maintains two notional reserves with the allocation based on the loan grading27  of its respective operations: General Loan Reserve (‘GLR’) and Special Activities Reserve (‘SAR’).  The amounts being released from/added to the GLR or the SAR are the consequence of the evolution of the risks of the underlying assets.  The GLR was introduced for the Bank’s loan and guarantee portfolio, representing a notional reserve for allocation of own funds. It is calculated based on the Bank’s internal loan grading system.  The SAR is a dedicated notional reserve for allocation of own funds covering unexpected losses of those activities, which have a risk profile higher than what is generally accepted by the Bank, including venture capital activities. The reserve is based on an allocation of each operation.  In addition, the Group benefits from subscribed uncalled capital, which can be called upon by the Bank to the extent needed for the EIB to meet its obligations28.  Details of own funds and reconciliation of the individual items to the balance sheet of the EIB Group consolidated financial statements under EU-AD are provided in this section.  27  28  Please see Section 5 for more details about the EIB’s loan grading system.  This uncalled capital is not included in the Group’s accounting and regulatory own funds.

 Credit risk | 37  Credit risk  Internal framework for credit risk management  Credit risk is the risk that the economic value and/or earnings of the EIBG decline due to the uncertainty with respect to the counterparties’ ability or willingness to meet the terms of the contractual obligations.  This section does not cover credit risk arising from over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives transactions and securities financing transactions, which is defined as counterparty credit risk in this report and is covered in Chapter 6. Credit exposures on securitisation positions are included in this chapter only when indicated, but are covered in more detail in Chapter 7.  The credit risk management process consists of identifying, analysing, measuring and reporting the risks incurred by the Group in its operations and making decisions to effectively manage these risks. The following sections describe the credit risk assessment processes of the EIB and of the EIF.  EIB’s credit risk responsibilities and processes  As far as the lending cycle is concerned, the main credit risk responsibilities within the first and second line of defence are divided between GR&C, the Operations Directorate (‘OPS’), the EIB Global Directorate (‘GLO‘) and the Portfolio Management and Monitoring Directorate (‘PMM’).  As a second line of defence, GR&C is responsible for setting the credit risk management framework for the origination and monitoring of lending exposures. In addition, GR&C provides an independent second line of defence opinion in relation to credit risk decision-making within the entire credit cycle, including loan proposal, credit risk related contractual amendments, restructuring, validation of specific provisions, Early Warning Signals/Non Performing Exposures (EWS/NPE) and forbearance status, counterpart internal rating based on established framework, LGD (Loss Given Default) and counterparty climate risk assessment.  OPS/GLO is responsible for the origination of new loans, due diligence, financial analysis of the borrowing entities and the evaluation of the structure of the operations using quantitative and qualitative metrics with input from the Projects Directorate (‘PJ‘) and the Legal Directorate (‘JU‘).  PMM monitors the credit quality of lending operations, in particular the borrowers’ and guarantors' creditworthiness, the value of securities and collateral received, management of event resolutions, etc. together with the assessment and negotiation of restructuring operations within a dedicated restructuring team.  Credit risk guidelines  GR&C, in consultation with other services within the Bank, is responsible for the credit risk guidelines setting the key principles for origination of new lending exposures (including, amongst others, minimum qualifying criteria for borrowers and guarantors in lending operations, acceptable structure of the operations, acceptable securities, risk pricing, etc.), ongoing monitoring of credit risk at individual exposure level throughout the loan cycle and in the identification and monitoring of EWS, NPE and forbearance exposures.  Other guidelines and internal policies relevant for the credit risk management of the Bank include the various internal policies referred to in sections 5.4, 5.5 and 13.3.  The Bank’s MC approves changes to the credit risk guidelines.  Product-specific guidelines for complex/higher-risk products  In order to ensure that the additional risk involved in complex or structured lending transactions is adequately analysed, quantified and mitigated, specific detailed guidelines have been developed in respect of certain types of operations complementing the general credit risk guidelines, presented above. The following types of operations are covered by specific sections of the guidelines: 

 38 | December 2023 EIB Group Risk Management Disclosure Report  i.  ii. iii. iv.  Subordinated corporate lending and corporate hybrids. Project finance transactions.  Loan substitutes  Risk-sharing products.  Lending outside the European Union  As lending outside the European Union often implies a higher risk profile than lending operations within the Union, the Bank established dedicated credit risk guidelines for such transactions to ensure that they are in line with the Bank’s risk appetite and reflect mandates that the EIB receives.  Similarly to all other transactions, the EIB estimates expected losses taking into account a counterpart’s internal rating and a transaction’s contractual features and assigns a loan grading to non-EU lending transactions. The EIB also takes into account the credit support provided by the European Union or Member States, as applicable.  Beyond capturing the credit strength of a potential counterpart, EIB risk assessment also considers local and country jurisdiction and currency circumstances, which affect particular market environments, such as for emerging market investments.  General mandate risk principles for Impact Finance Mandates  Impact Finance Mandates are mandates generally with full risk coverage 29 for the Bank and whereby implementation and the risk spectrum are beyond the Bank’s rules, policies and procedures applied to operations it carries out at its own risk. As a consequence, the standard credit risk guidelines do not apply and the Bank has codified general mandate credit risk principles and follows specific qualitative credit risk assessment procedures agreed between the Bank and the mandators. Exposures under Impact Finance Mandates are carved out from the application of BBP and are consequently excluded from the templates on credit risk quality.  GR&C has also established specific guidelines for the management and monitoring of existing credit exposures under Impact Finance Mandates.  The lending process: contractual guidelines  A legal analysis is performed to determine whether a counterpart can comply with the contractual standards.  Legal framework  Guidelines set out orientation points for the legal framework under which the Bank may lend and, in particular, aspects like the governing laws and jurisdictions for the settlement of disputes which the Bank deems acceptable in view of its specific status as a multilateral financial institution owned by the Member States of the European Union.  Risk mitigation techniques  In its credit risk guidelines, the Bank details its approach to credit risk mitigation, which is based on a robust due diligence process, adequate levels of security and guarantees as well as protective clauses included in its loan agreements.  Risk mitigation clauses are the contractual clauses included in the lending documents signed by the Bank and its counterparts. These documents are, principally, the loan agreement and any guarantee, security or collateral agreement.  Risk mitigating clauses may include, amongst others, specific clauses making the disbursement of the loan conditional on certain requirements being satisfied, undertakings (covenants) given by the counterpart to the Bank (such as financial covenants or Loss of Rating clauses vis-à-vis the borrower or guarantor) and events of default enabling the Bank to take certain steps on the occurrence of a credit event post-signature.  These clauses are designed to protect the Bank against the deterioration of a borrower’s credit risk and to enable it to act to preserve its position upon the occurrence of any such event and reflect the nature of the counterpart and other factors affecting the credit risk profile of the relevant operation.  29  On an ad-hoc basis, the general mandate credit risk principles apply to specific Impact Finance sub-portfolios under the InvestEU mandate, where the EIB takes a limited senior risk. 

 Credit risk | 39  Acceptable counterparties  Whether or not a given entity is acceptable to the Bank as a counterparty in a lending operation is determined on the basis of an assessment of the entity using, amongst others, quantitative metrics but also relying on experience and expert judgment.  The following key elements are taken into account:  Satisfaction of a Minimum Internal Rating (‘MIR’) requirement set on the basis of the Bank’s Internal Rating Methodology;  Minimum Qualifying Status (‘MQS’) in case of the existence of a rating from a recognised credit rating agency;  Counterparty limits/thresholds;  Any independent collateral, securities or guarantees available.  The lending process: counterpart exposure limits  Counterparty and sector limits  The EIB Group monitors and manages single name concentration risk30 from a regulatory, internal and credit rating agencies’ point of view.  From an internal point of view, in order to ensure adequate diversification of credit exposures, the Bank places counterparty-based threshold/limits on its maximum exposure 31 to financial institutions, corporates, sub- sovereign public authorities and public sector entities (as borrowers and/or guarantors).  Counterparty thresholds/limits are designed to keep lending exposures within a pre-defined proportion of the Bank’s own funds or the counterparts’ own funds/operating revenue. Thresholds/limits can be set on a nominal or risk-adjusted basis, the latter based on the nature of the counterpart and the existence of external guarantees or collateral provided as security for the relevant exposure.  The Bank also has exposure limits for certain sectors of economic activity.  Regulatory large exposure limits  In addition to the Bank’s own limits referred to above, and in compliance with applicable BBP to the EIB, the Group applies the regulatory large exposure limits on the maximum exposure to a single client or a group of connected clients.  EIB’s loan grading system  The loan grading system is used for internal credit risk assessment of the EIB’s lending operations and is an important part of the loan appraisal and monitoring process.  A loan grading reflects the present value of the estimated level of the lifetime expected loss for that loan, this being the net present value of the product of the probability of default, the loan exposure at risk and the loss given default. The loan grading system is used for the following purposes:  performance of quantitative assessment of lending risks;  indicator of credit risk variations for the purposes of prioritising monitoring efforts;  description of the Bank’s loan portfolio quality at a given date;  benchmark for calculating the annual additions to the GLR and SAR;  input in risk pricing decisions.  The following factors are used to determine a loan grading:  The borrower’s creditworthiness: on the basis of an internal proposal by the first line of defence, GR&C independently reviews borrowers/guarantors and assesses their creditworthiness based on internal methodologies. In line with the Basel III Internal Ratings Based approach adopted, the Bank has developed an internal rating methodology (‘IRM’) to determine the internal ratings of borrowers and guarantors. This is based on a set of scoring sheets specific to defined counterparty types.  30  31  Including concentration risk arising from credit mitigation activities.  The Bank’s consolidated exposure to the same counterparty, including lending, treasury and derivative exposures. 

 40 | December 2023 EIB Group Risk Management Disclosure Report  The default correlation: it quantifies the chances of simultaneous financial difficulties arising for both the borrower and the guarantor. The higher the correlation between the borrower and the guarantor’s default, the lower the value of the guarantee and therefore the lower (worse) the loan grading.  The value of guarantee instruments and of securities: this value is assessed on the basis of a combination of the issuer’s creditworthiness and the type of instrument used.  The applicable recovery rate: the amount assumed to be recovered following a default by the relevant counterpart expressed as a percentage of the relevant loan exposure.  The contractual framework: a sound contractual framework will add to the loan’s quality and enhance its loan grading.  The duration of the loan or, more generally, the cash flows of the loan: all else being equal, the longer the loan, the higher the risk of incurring difficulties in the servicing of the loan.  Risk pricing methodology  The Bank has a risk pricing methodology, which ensures that the risk attached to any given operation is adequately remunerated. The level of risk pricing is based on a number of factors, including the loan grading assigned to the relevant lending operation.  EIF’s credit risk and related management  The EIF’s credit risk arises mainly through its activity linked to debt products, which encompasses guarantees and securitisations. Credit risk management is based on a three-lines-of-defence model which permeates all areas of the EIF’s business functions and processes: (i) front office, (ii) risk management and compliance functions, and  (iii) internal audit.  The EIF has developed a sound risk management framework for its Guarantee and Securitisation (G&S) business in order to analyse and monitor portfolio guarantees and structured finance transactions in line with common market practices.  In the context of the independent opinion process relating to its guarantees and securitisations, the Transaction and Portfolio Risk (“TPR”) division reviews each transaction proposal provided by the Equity Investments and Guarantees (“EIG”) department in accordance with the EIF’s internal rules and procedures.  To limit the concentration risk in the portfolio, the EIF has internal limits based on maximum exposure both at individual transaction and originator level. Transaction limits define maximum possible exposure dependent on underlying rating and weighted average life. Originator limits are applied to the respective originator’s position per country and exposure rating.  Early Warning Signals (‘EWS’) and Non-Performing Exposures (‘NPE’)  During 2023, for its lending operations, the Bank continued the implementation of the EWS and NPE processes following the adoption of relevant NPE requirements as best banking practice applicable to the EIB and defined in the internal EWS/NPE and Forbearance Guidelines.  The EWS concept is intended to allow for early detection and prevention of deteriorating credit quality counterparties/transactions. NPEs, which are also relevant for accounting purposes, include loans, debt securities and off-balance sheet exposures that satisfy either one or both of the criteria from Article 178 of the CRR. Non-performing exposures include32 defaulted and impaired exposures. Total NPEs are the sum of non- performing loans (‘NPL’), non-performing debt securities and non-performing off-balance sheet items.  Through the loan lifecycle, the responsible services monitor the exposure based on a dedicated EWS/NPE framework. The EWS and NPE process is typically targeted at assessing and recording financial issues at the level of a counterparty; that is, it does not take into consideration any specificity of the EIB loan, security/collateral arrangements and portfolio guarantees. The EWS/NPE portfolios are updated on a continuing basis throughout the year and reported to the management.  The EIF has implemented the EWS and NPE concept applying specific triggers to its Guarantee and Securitisation (G&S) business.  32  The EIB Group adheres to the NPE/NPL regulatory requirements approved, as BBP, subject to adaptations/non-applications, in line with its BBP Guiding Principles. 

 Credit risk | 41  Definition of defaulted, past due and impaired exposures  Pursuant to Article 178 of the CRR, the Group’s definition of default, applicable to lending operations33 for regulatory purposes, is such that a default is considered to have occurred when either one or both of the two following conditions are met:  the obligor is past due more than 90 days on any material obligation above a certain threshold towards the EIB Group; and/or  the obligor is assessed as unlikely to pay (‘UTP’) its credit obligations in full towards the EIB Group, without realisation of collateral or security, regardless of the existence of any past due amount or the number of days past due.  An obligation for both accounting and regulatory purposes is considered as being “past due” when a contractual payment has not been met.  The borrower is flagged as an NPE if it is past due more than 90 consecutive calendar days on any material credit obligation to the EIB (unless considered as a technical default). Absolute (EUR 500) and relative (1% of the borrower’s exposure) materiality thresholds are taken into consideration while flagging 90 days past due.  The EIB has established a framework for the identification of unlikeliness to pay exposures, which is adjusted to the specificities and as applicable to the EIB’s portfolio. Amongst others, the unlikeliness to pay would likely be triggered based on the following situations:  EIB decisions, for example, application of specific provisions, write-off, debt forgiveness, payment under guarantee, obligation on non-accrued status, or waiver of a material part of accrued interest or fees; request for or expectation of a need for modification of original contract due to diminished repayment capacity with the counterpart unable to service its debt.  Actions by another lender or external stakeholders such as write-off or debt forgiveness; enforcement of legal actions by or default to another lender; downgrade to default status by external credit rating agencies; pre- insolvency/restructuring proceedings, insolvency, administration, bankruptcy or similar protection; loss of licence for regulated activities.  Significant perceived decline in credit quality, for example, default to another lender; justified concerns about the counterpart’s ability to generate stable and sufficient cashflows to service debt; disappearance of a market for borrower financial instruments; breach of financial covenants; request for emergency funding, enforcement actions against the counterpart.  For accounting purposes, an operation (meaning a loan, a commitment such as a guarantee, a commitment to extend credit or another credit product) is considered to be impaired following the occurrence of one or more pre-defined impairment triggers derived from the EWS/NPE framework or the EIB’s loan grading system to determine the need for a specific impairment provision. In certain circumstances, defaulted exposures might not be considered impaired due to the credit enhancement provided to the Group. A reversal of an NPE trigger can be initiated typically not before an established probation period provided that a number of conditions are fulfilled, amongst others: the NPE event has been resolved; regular payments as per schedule; existing specific provisions fully reversed; stable financial situation of the counterpart without additional deterioration or unlikeliness to pay identified.  Where forbearance measures are extended to an NPE counterpart, in addition to the conditions above, the exposures shall be considered to have ceased being non-performing after a 12-month cure period.  Impairment provisions  Specific impairment provisions are recorded for impaired contracts. Within the EIB, the determination of a specific impairment provision is carried out at contract level. The corresponding impairment amount is equal to the expected unrecoverable amount, that is the difference between the gross carrying amount of the exposure and the expected recoverable amount. The specific impairment provisions are further adjusted for the guarantee/loss coverage provided by mandators under portfolio guarantees. Write-off and debt forgiveness on outstanding debt exposures might apply on a case-by-case basis as per internal procedures.  33  For treasury and derivative operations, slightly different NPE conditions have been defined, which are based rather on contractual events or financial market practices. 

 42 | December 2023 EIB Group Risk Management Disclosure Report  While the general outlook of the credit portfolio is deemed stable at so far, the collective provision recognised in 2022 in order to reflect the impact of the war in Ukraine on the overall loan portfolio (considering wider economic implications and not specifically exposures in Ukraine) was increased in 2023 as compared to end- 2022.  The below set of templates34 has been prepared pursuant to Article 442 of the CRR and the related EBA ITS. Since the EIB Group’s ratio of the gross carrying amount of non-performing loans and advances divided by the total gross carrying amount of loans and advances subject to the definition of non-performing according to Article 47a of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 is less than 5%, the templates have been adapted accordingly.  34  Exposures under Impact Finance Mandates have been excluded from the NPE disclosure templates. Accrued interest on loans and advances and debt securities is not included in the gross carrying amounts disclosed.

These forbearance measures aim to enable the obligor to (totally or partially) service the debt or to refinance the contract.  Performing exposures with forbearance measures (performing forborne exposures) shall comprise forborne exposures that do not meet the criteria to be considered as non-performing and are included in the performing exposures category (that is, the debtor is not classified as NPE).  Non-performing exposures with forbearance measures (non-performing forborne exposures) shall comprise forborne exposures that meet the criteria to be considered as non-performing and are included in the non- performing category (that is, the debtor is classified as NPE).  Template EU CQ1 — Credit quality of forborne exposures  This template presents an overview of the forborne exposures of the Group with a split between performing and non- performing exposures and related provisions by product and counterparty.  Amounts are in EUR million, unless otherwise indicated  a  b  c  d  e  f  Gross carrying amount/nominal amount of exposures with forbearance measures  Accumulated impairment, accumulated negative changes in fair value due to credit risk and provisions  Performing forborne  Non-performing forborne  On performing  forborne exposures  On non- performing  forborne exposures  Of which defaulted  Of which impaired  005  Cash balances at central banks and other  demand deposits  -  -  -  -  -  -  010  Loans and advances  1,828  1,701  1,701  1,138  -1  -279  020  Central banks  -  -  -  -  -  -  030  General governments  114  32  32  -  -  -  040  Credit institutions  1  23  23  3  -  -2

Credit risk mitigation used to limit the exposure of derivatives and securities financing transactions is presented in Chapter 6.  The Bank accepts various types of credit enhancements and has defined requirements on the security’s quality at the level of the guarantor, the collateral provider and the security obtained. The typical eligible credit enhancements include guarantees, pledge of assets and/or financial collateral.  The Bank does not use credit derivatives as a means of mitigating credit risk. The effect of credit risk mitigation is calculated using the Financial Collateral Comprehensive Method pursuant to Article 228 of the CRR36. Netting is solely applied for OTC derivatives as described in Chapter 6.  For further information on collateral received, refer to Note S.2.3.3 (guarantees received by the Group), Note  S.2.3.4 (collateral on loans) and Note S.2.5.1 (financial collateral for derivatives) of the EIB Group consolidated financial statements under IFRS.  Collateral and guarantee management  The credit risk attached to a particular borrower may be enhanced by the provision of third-party guarantees and/or collateral. In order to distinguish between the quality of such credit enhancements, the Bank has a granular classification system defining the essential characteristics of the different types of credit enhancement that may be offered as security.  This distinction is based not only on the credit standing of the issuer of the relevant instrument but also on the instruments’ legal enforceability and liquidity.  Guarantees  Guarantees represent one type of credit enhancement. Detailed rules are set out in the credit risk guidelines in relation to, among others:  minimum rating requirements for guarantors and the Bank’s rights if the guarantor loses such rating;  monitoring of guarantors;  acceptable caps on guarantees.  Pledge of assets and/or financial collateral  Alternatively, a credit enhancement can be made by a pledge on assets:  pledge of financial collateral (government and corporate bonds, cash and, on an exceptional basis, shares);  assignment of financial rights (for example, a claim on underlying loan exposures or revenues); and  cash on bank accounts (no pledge agreement) held with an independent bank.  Security eligibility and collateral management  Detailed rules are set out in the credit risk guidelines in relation to, among others:  asset eligibility;  haircuts based on security type, rating, maturity, liquidity, currency;  frequency of monitoring of collateral, exposures and coverage ratios (daily); and  36  Under the Financial Comprehensive Method, the effects of credit risk mitigation are reflected when using the IRB approach by adjusting the loss given default parameter in the calculation of the risk-weighted exposure. 

 Credit risk | 51  rules for collateral valuation.  5.3 Use of the standardised approach  The Group makes limited use of the standardised approach. Despite being treated under IRB (Article 152 of the CRR), investments in collective investment undertakings (‘CIUs’) treated under the look-through, mandate-based or fall-back approach are reported in templates CR4 and CR5 below.  The EIB Group currently does not make use of external ratings from the major credit rating agencies for any of the exposures treated under the standardised approach within the IRB calculations to determine the corresponding risk weights. Rather, investments within the affected exposure classes receive standardised risk weights according to non-rating based criteria as provided for by the CRR.  Template EU CR4 — standardised approach — Credit risk exposure and CRM effects  This template presents an overview of the EIB Group's exposures under the standardised approach for which the Group applies fixed risk weights from the CRR instead of its own internal estimation of credit risk parameters for the calculation of regulatory capital requirements.

 Credit risk | 53  5.4 Use of the Internal Ratings Based approach  The Internal Ratings Based (‘IRB’) approach enables banks to use their own risk parameters to quantify required capital for credit risk. Following approval by the relevant governing bodies, the EIB Group voluntarily adopted the CRR Advanced Internal Ratings Based (‘A-IRB’) approach for capital calculation. It developed internal models for ratings and credit risk parameters [Probability of Default (‘PD’), Loss Given Default (‘LGD’) and Exposure at Default (‘EAD’)], in line with BBP and with the EU implementation of the BCBS standards, to ensure a robust internal rating system. PD, LGD and EAD models exist for all material exposure classes of the Bank, and the Bank uses the A-IRB approach for the majority of its book. The simple risk-weight approach is used for a limited number of equity exposures (see Section 5.5).  Internal credit risk parameter estimates are not only used for regulatory but also for economic capital calculations. Internal ratings are a key driver of loan grading and therefore of loan pricing and provisioning. The Group has set up a stress testing framework, in which the internal credit risk parameters and how they change under different macroeconomic scenarios play a major role.  Internal ratings  The EIB has developed an Internal Rating Methodology (‘IRM’) to determine the internal ratings of its counterparties and the rating approach is differentiated by counterparty types. The EIF applies a similar rating scale for internal purposes.  The table below sets out the relationship between the EIB’s internal ratings, equivalent external ratings and the ratings’ definitions.  Table 3: EIB rating mapping scale  Internal Rating  Equivalent  Moody's rating  Rating definition  1  Aaa  Counterpart of prime credit quality, with minimal credit risk.  2+  Aa1  High credit quality counterpart and subject to very low credit risk. Considerable stability of earnings, strong position in a non-cyclical sector and moderate leverage. Long-term prospects quite solid.  2  Aa2  2-  Aa3  3+  A1  Good credit quality counterpart and subject to low credit risk. Capacity to repay all obligations in  the normal course of business is undoubted, but operating in a cyclical sector (or not having a strong position in a non-cyclical one), and therefore potentially showing a degree of vulnerability to downturns. Long-term prospects remain, however, solid.  3  A2  3-  A3  4+  Baa1  Acceptable credit quality counterpart subject to moderate credit risk but with an exposure to  economic or industry cycles that could well lead, in the medium term, to a material deterioration in the borrower’s financial performance.  4  Baa2  Minimum acceptable credit quality counterpart subject to increased credit risk.  4-  Baa3  Counterpart is financially vulnerable to external or internal factors such as high leverage, highly cyclical and competitive industries, or where event risk is a major consideration. Short-term solvency is not in question, but long-term prospects are uncertain.  5+  Ba1  Financially weak counterpart, whose capacity to repay obligations on a timely basis may be in question.  5  Ba2  5-  Ba3  6+  B1  Counterpart subject to high credit risk; capacity to repay questionable.  6  B2  6-  B3  7  Caa2  Counterpart judged to be of very poor credit standing and subject to very high credit risk.  8  D  Counterpart in default.  Internal rating process and models  In order to ensure the independence of the rating assignment, there is an established framework for division of responsibilities between OPS/GLO (Loan Officers), PMM (Portfolio Monitoring Officers) and GR&C (Credit Officers) regarding the due diligence and internal rating exercise. The same process applies to LGD assigned to 

 54 | December 2023 EIB Group Risk Management Disclosure Report  corporate and financial institution counterparties. For public sector entities, sub-sovereign public authorities and sovereign/central bank counterparties, LGD values are automatically determined39.  Several control mechanisms of the internal ratings system have been established to ensure the internal rating models are robust:  Under the mandate of the Credit Risk Control function (‘CRCF’), the Internal Modelling division in GR&C-RM and the Economics Department within the General Secretariat are responsible for the design and continuous refinement of the internal rating model methodologies, the review, maintenance and monitoring of the models’ performance and oversight of the rating systems as a whole.  A separate validation team within GR&C ensures the internal models’ compliance with applicable BBP.  The Internal Rating Models Maintenance Committee (‘IRMMC’) has decision-making authority on the design, selection, implementation, oversight and performance of the internal credit risk parameter models.  The Internal Audit function is responsible for checking annually the integrity of the internal rating system and its adherence to all applicable requirements.  An Annual Rating Model Performance report covering the performance of all A-IRB PD/rating, LGD and CCF models under the remit of the CRCF is submitted to senior management and the MC on a yearly basis. Additionally, the IRMMC is informed on a regular basis through separate monitoring reports. The objective of the model monitoring and performance reports is to assess whether the models are fit for purpose, that is, to ensure that a possible deterioration of model performance is detected and addressed in a timely manner.  From a credit risk perspective, model monitoring is a second line of defence control activity performed by the CRCF with the aim of measuring the underlying credit risk of the Bank’s portfolios and monitoring whether the models and its risk drivers still provide an adequate credit risk assessment. In terms of model risk, model monitoring is a first line of defence control activity under the responsibility of the model owner aimed at identifying deficiencies in the model design and implementation or a potential misuse of the model.  Model monitoring comprises the following main components 40 : (i) monitoring of model estimates and (ii) monitoring of the model use and application. For both components quantitative metrics and statistical methods are applied, complemented by qualitative methods and judgment.  For the monitoring of estimates of model parameters, a distinction is made between back-testing and benchmarking analyses:  Back-testing means the use of statistical methods to compare model estimates and realised outcomes in line with CRR Art. 174(d) and Art. 185(b).  Benchmarking refers to a comparison of internal estimates across banks with external benchmarks or estimates of challenger models (such as external ratings, pooled data, supervisory models) in line with CRR Art. 185(c).  With regard to the model use and application, the content of the monitoring activities depends on the peculiarities of the model. Examples are the model use on the appropriate portfolio, timely re-rating or the extent of overrides.  Currently, all internal rating models at the EIB follow an expert-based approach. This means that the ratings are primarily based on scorecards, which rely on quantitative factors and an analyst’s opinion for qualitative factors, but also allow adjustments to the rating based on judgmental factors to an explicitly limited degree. EU and non- EU counterparts are generally subject to the same rating approach, although in the incumbent rating model for financial institutions the scores are partially weighted differently, such that for non-EU counterparties, business risk factors are, for instance, more heavily weighted than financial criteria.  The internal rating model for corporate counterparts (excluding project finance counterparts) assesses business risk and financial risk factors (including industry risks, company specifics, corporate governance, capital structure and debt service capacity) on a quantitative and qualitative basis by taking into account sector- and country- specific factors to determine an initial rating. Expert adjustments are made by considering the legal entities’ parental or government support. Before the final rating is determined, overriding tools are applied to incorporate information that was not considered in the scoring sheet.  39  40  A manual override of the model values is possible for all counterparty types, with stricter rules for financial institutions and corporates. According to BCBS, “Working Paper No. 14: Studies on the Validation of Internal Rating Systems”. 

 Credit risk | 55  An internal rating model for financial institutions is also used even though most of these counterparts are rated by external credit rating agencies. The internal rating process is very similar to that of corporates despite differences in the rating criteria, and measures, on the one hand, qualitative criteria such as economic environment, regulatory and legal framework or competitive position and, on the other hand, financial criteria assessing the institution’s financial soundness. The final rating allows for judgmental overrides as seen above.  In line with its BBP Guiding Principles, assuming no expected loss for exposures towards the European Union, Member States and central banks of Member States are carved out from regulatory capital requirements.  Non-EU sovereigns (incl. central banks) are rated by the Economics Department.  The internal rating model for sub-sovereign public authority (‘SSPA’) counterparties assesses the two main areas, operating environment and financial position/risk, to derive an initial rating from the scorecard. Subsequently, model-driven adjustments including a country test (to ensure the rating is in line with the rating of the sovereign) and overriding adjustments (expert-based) and market information are made.  A specific internal rating model exists for public sector entities (‘PSE’) that are neither sovereign, sub-sovereign public authorities, nor corporates and are considered within the institutions’ IRB exposure class for capital calculation purposes. The initial scorecard rating of these entities assesses the business and financial risk of the counterparty. Potential adjustments are allowed by assessing specific criteria to reflect the degree and likelihood of extraordinary support from the sponsoring sovereign or sub-sovereign.  Requests for information addressed to the EIB Group including those related to the decisions made on internal ratings assigned to applicants for loans are handled by the InfoDesk in line with the Group’s Transparency Policy. As the Group does not directly lend to SMEs, these will usually be informed that loan decisions and conditions of financing fall within the remit of the financial intermediaries and that the Group is not involved in the rating decision-making process.  Credit risk parameters  The following table provides an overview of the internal models per exposure class including the models and methodologies applied to estimate the internal credit risk parameters.  Table 4: Overview of EIB internal models  Component  Portfolio  Main models  Description of model and methodology  CRR category  No.  Description  PD  Corporates  2  PD Corporates  Scoring sheet  Exposures to Corporates  PD Project Finance  Scoring sheet  Exposures to Corporates –  specialised lending  Financial  Institutions  1  PD Financial Institutions  Scoring sheet  Exposures to  Institutions  Sovereign/Public Sector  4  PD Sub-Sovereign Public Authorities  Scoring sheet  Exposures to Central governments and central banks  PD Public Sector Entities  Scoring sheet  PD Central governments and their central banks (non EU)  Statistical based model with expert  judgment  PD Central governments and  their central banks (EU) and supranational organisations  Simplified approach  LGD  Corporates  2  LGD Corporates inside Europe  Model based on sector and legislation  Exposures to Corporates  LGD Corporates outside Europe  Benchmark model  Financial Institutions  2  LGD Financial Institutions inside Europe  Model based on financials and legislation  Exposures to Institutions  LGD Financial Institutions outside Europe  Benchmark model  Sovereign/Public Sector  4  LGD Public Institutions (SSPAs and PSEs) inside Europe  Benchmark model

For EU Credit Risk Guidelines (CRG) counterparts, internal rating grades are mapped to Moody’s rating grades taking into account the criteria of the internal and external ratings. The calibration method for PDs is based on Moody’s published data on default experience. For non-EU CRG counterparties, default data history is also provided through the GEMs (Global Emerging Markets Risk) database, which allows for statistical modelling. The calibration of PDs also uses GEMs and Moody’s data. Template CR9.1 below provides information on the back-testing of PDs estimates using respectively Moody’s and GEMs’ rating grades.  The LGD model relies mainly on external data and/or expert judgment given the lack of default and loss data, and a downturn LGD is used for regulatory capital purposes. The LGD treatment is differentiated between EU and non-EU Credit Risk Guidelines, and by counterparty, exposure type and economic sector. Credit risk mitigation clauses have an impact on LGD and are taken into account for determining the LGD of a transaction.  On the basis of the protection provided by its preferred creditor status (PCS) as enshrined in its Statute (Article 26.2, exemption from all forms of requisition or expropriation), the Bank assumes full recovery of its EU Member States’ assets upon maturity41. Hence, no credit risk is assumed on the Bank’s direct and guaranteed exposures to the European Union and EU Member States. Furthermore, central banks of EU Member States benefit from the same regime, as per the Bank’s BBP Framework.  Lastly, the Bank uses different models to derive its own estimates of the Credit Conversion Factors (‘CCFs’) used for the EAD calculation based on the type of counterparty.  The templates below provide detailed information on specific portfolios of the EIB Group treated under the A- IRB approach.  41  EIB exposure to EU Member States, except for exposure in the form of debt instruments with collective action clauses.

 Credit risk | 61  Template EU CR6-A — Scope of the use of IRB and SA approaches  The below template exhibits the total amount of exposures treated under the IRB approach before credit risk mitigation (column a) compared to the exposure calculated in the context of the leverage ratio (column b). It shows that exposure values under IRB tend to be higher than those considered for the calculation of the leverage ratio, and this, regardless of the difference in scope, is due to the application of a different credit conversion factor. Furthermore, as explained above, the EIBG treats most of its exposures under the A-IRB approach and makes limited use of the standardised approach.  Amounts are in EUR million, unless otherwise indicated  Exposure value as  defined in Article 166  CRR for exposures subject to  IRB  approach  Total exposure  value for exposures  subject to the Standardised approach and  to the IRB approach  Percentage of total exposure value subject to the permanent partial use of the SA (%)  Percentag e of total exposure value subject to a roll-out plan (%)  Percentage of total exposure value subject to IRB  Approach (%)44  a  b  c  d  e  1  Central governments and central banks  143,073  144,304  0.0%  -  100.0%  1.1  Of which Regional governments or local authorities  23,390  0.0%  -  100.0%  1.2  Of which Public sector entities  37,970  0.0%  -  100.0%  2  Institutions  202,146  197,609  0.0%  -  100.0%  3  Corporates  164,840  156,453  0.7%  -  99.3%  3.1  Of which Corporates – Specialised lending, excluding slotting approach  19,942  0.0%  -  100.0%  3.2  Of which Corporates – Specialised lending under slotting approach  -  0.0%  -  0.0%  4  Retail  -  0.0%  -  0.0%  4.1  of which Retail – Secured by real estate SMEs  -  0.0%  -  0.0%  4.2  of which Retail – Secured by real estate non- SMEs  -  0.0%  -  0.0%  4.3  of which Retail – Qualifying revolving  -  0.0%  -  0.0%  4.4  of which Retail – Other SMEs  -  0.0%  -  0.0%  4.5  of which Retail – Other non-SMEs  -  0.0%  -  0.0%  5  Equity  4,976  5,847  14.9%  -  85.1%  6  Other non-credit obligation assets  3,251  3,251  0.0%  -  100.0%  7  Total  518,286  507,464  0.4%  -  99.6%  44  For the purpose of this template, CIUs treated in accordance with Article 152 of the CRR are considered in the scope of IRB exposures (and allocated for the most part to the corporate exposure class).

 Credit risk | 65  RWEA flow statements of credit risk exposures under the IRB approach  This table presents a breakdown of the evolution of the credit risk RWEA under the IRB approach between the previous and current reporting period.  Amounts are in EUR million  RWEA as at 31.12.2022  113,040  Asset size  16,167  Asset quality  -5,076  Model updates  -3,653  Methodology and policy  -  Other (including foreign exchange movements)  -969  RWEA as at 31.12.2023  119,509  The increase in the IRB RWEA over 2023 is mainly explained by the growth of EAD linked to the origination of new business. The decrease of RWEA due to model updates relates to the annual recalibration of risk parameters (PDs and LGDs).  Template CR9 — IRB approach — Back-testing of PD per exposure class (fixed PD scale)  The templates below provide a comparison of internal PD estimates with observed annual default rates for specific segments of the portfolio.

 Credit risk | 73  5.5 Equity risk  Equity-type risks result from the Group’s investments that in effect expose the Group to the risk of the performance of the investee’s business.  The Group is exposed to equity risk stemming from the following sources:  Strategic investments:  The EIB’s strategic participation in the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (‘EBRD’);  Equity investments:  Equity-type investments including investments in infrastructure and climate funds as well as private equity funds, predominantly focusing on geographies outside the European Union.  Equity-type investments originated by the EIF on behalf of the EIB in the form of investments in infrastructure and climate funds, venture capital/private equity funds, private debt funds and related structures (for example, co-investment vehicles) and similar structures under ad-hoc facilities under mandate.  Quasi-equity operations which are financing legally structured as loans but usually remunerated with an equity kicker 46 and are considered as equity-type operations from a risk perspective. They are typically originated under risk-sharing mandates47 such as InnovFin/EFSI/InvestEU.  Shares that have been obtained in the context of financial restructuring of a publicly quoted or privately held company to which the EIB has lent (“accidental equity”).  EIF own-resources indirect equity investments  Indirect equity exposures via Private Equity, Venture Capital and Private Debt funds;  Indirect equity exposures via Funds of Funds;  Secondary indirect equity investments through the purchase of a secondary stake in a fund (for the EIF Equity Discretionary portfolio only);  Direct equity exposures via co-investments (in companies or portfolio companies) to a limited extent.  Management, monitoring and reporting  The EIB’s Equity Risk Guidelines (“ERG”) address risk issues and related risk mitigating measures associated with indirect equity originated by the EIB and quasi-equity investments irrespective of their geographical focus and origin of funds. Together with the Equity Monitoring Procedures (“EMP”), they set out the monitoring procedures, including the periodic scoring of equity-type investments prepared by PMM and reviewed by GR&C. The equity-type investments are fair valued periodically and set against their carrying value to calculate performance.  The EIF’s Equity Risk Policy Guidelines (“ERPG”) cover the equity risk investment and monitoring process under EIF own resources and under mandate.  The core of the EIF’s equity-specific risk management practices consists of a structured and regular fund manager review process, in which the financial performance of each fund manager and fund in the portfolio is assessed, operational issues at the level of fund managers are identified, and remedy actions are agreed. This process is run by both the first and second lines of defence.  More specifically, the Fund has developed a toolset to design, manage and monitor portfolios of private equity (‘PE’) funds tailored to the dynamics of this marketplace. This toolset is based on an internal model, which enables the Fund to better assess and verify each fund’s but also each portfolio of funds’ valuations, risks and expected future cash flows and performances. Before committing to a PE fund, the EIF assigns an equity score which is based on the outcome of extensive due diligence performed by the Fund’s transaction team and reviewed by its risk management team. The funds are monitored by the Fund’s transaction team with a frequency and intensity depending on the underlying level of risk, and equity scores are annually reviewed by the Fund’s risk management team.  46  47  From an accounting point of view, quasi-equity loans are considered as debt and consequently reported in the EBA templates under “Loans and advances” as applicable.  Arrangements whereby the Bank shares the risk on underlying credit risk exposures with the mandator. 

 74 | December 2023 EIB Group Risk Management Disclosure Report  Equity risk is featured to various levels of detail in internal EIB Group entities’ reporting and regularly submitted to senior management.  Capital requirements measurement  The CRR contains a hierarchy of credit risk approaches for dealing with equity investments in CIUs. Depending on the level of information available on individual underlying exposures, institutions should apply the different approaches in the following order:  Look-through approach (‘LTA’);  Mandate-based approach (‘MBA’);  Fall-back approach with 1250% risk weight.  The EIB Group calculates capital requirements for most of its indirect equity investments on the basis of the LTA or MBA (the fall-back approach is applied to a small portion of the portfolio).  Capital requirements for the participation in the EBRD are calculated on the basis of the standardised approach, as disclosed in template EU CR4 above. Quasi-equity exposures are treated under the simple risk-weighted approach, as presented in template EU CR10 below.  Template EU CR10 — Specialised lending and equity exposures under the simple risk weighted approach48  The template below focuses on equity exposures under the simple risk-weighted approach. As explained above, only a small part of the EIB Group equity exposures is treated under the simple risk-weighted approach as the bulk of this portfolio consists of investments in CIUs subject to the look-through, mandate based or fall-back approach (and hence reported in templates CR4 and CR5).  Amounts are in EUR million, unless otherwise indicated.  Equity exposures under the simple risk weighted approach  Categories  On-balance sheet exposure  Off-balance sheet exposure  Risk weight  Exposure value  Risk weighted exposure amount  Expected loss amount  a  b  c  d  e  f  Private equity exposures  -  -  190.0%  -  -  -  Exchange-traded equity exposures  -  -  290.0%  -  -  -  Other equity exposures49  1,038  1,104  370.0%  2,142  7,924  51  Total  1,038  1,104  2,142  7,924  51  48  49  As the EIB Group’s specialised lending activities (project finance portfolio) are not treated under the slotting approach, templates CR10.1- 4 are not disclosed.  In 2023 some exposures were reclassified from investments in CIUs into equity exposures, leading to an increase of amounts reported under the simple risk-weighted approach. 

 Counterparty credit risk | 75  6 Counterparty credit risk  Counterparty credit risk is defined as the risk that the counterparty of an OTC derivatives transaction or securities financing transaction (‘SFT’) defaults before the final settlement of the transaction’s cash flows, meaning that the counterparty will not be able to fulfil present and future payment obligations. The exposure at risk changes over time as market parameters change and it is of a bilateral nature.  The EIB uses derivatives, mainly cross-currency swaps (‘CCS’) and interest rate swaps (‘IRS’), but also structured swaps, futures, forward rate agreements and currency forwards, as part of its Asset and Liability Management (‘ALM’) activities to manage exposures to interest rate and foreign currency risk and as part of its treasury operations. The EIF does not hold derivatives.  The EIB enters into SFTs, mostly in the form of reverse repos with banking counterparties. Such transactions are used as part of its treasury management activities to place liquidity not immediately needed for disbursement of loans. The EIF does not engage in SFTs with external counterparties.  Mitigation, monitoring and reporting  The EIB’s counterparty credit risk is governed by its FRGs. The Derivatives division within GR&C is responsible for monitoring and measuring counterparty credit risk on derivatives and the Treasury & Liquidity division for monitoring and measuring counterparty credit risk on SFTs. Changes to models and methodology in relation to counterparty credit risk for derivatives are discussed by the Derivatives Strategy and Models Committee (DSMC), which meets quarterly and has the mission to analyse and discuss possible improvements in policies, procedures, models, methods and tools that constitute the operational framework for derivatives transactions at the EIB.  Methodology used to assign internal capital and credit limits for counterparty credit exposures, including the methods to assign those limits to exposures to central counterparties  The EIB uses internal credit limits for derivatives and SFTs, which are set by GR&C-RM/GFIN based on internal policy guidelines approved by the MC, and monitored on a daily basis. Corrective actions are taken in the event of limit breaches and dedicated daily reporting about limit usage is in place. For internal purposes, the Group measures the credit risk exposure related to derivative transactions using the Current Unsecured Exposure50 and the Potential Future Exposure for reporting and limit monitoring. The Potential Future Exposure is computed in a simulation engine on multiple time points and under various rating scenarios51.  With regard to SFTs, the Group follows a similar approach for calculating the exposure, that is, the total exposure with each counterparty is the sum of the Current Exposure (“CE”) and the Potential Future Exposure (“PFE”) of the net position of bilateral repo and reverse repo transactions outstanding with such counterparty at master netting agreement level. Exposures related to multiple GMRAs with one counterparty are summed up to obtain the exposure for this counterparty.  To compute the credit limit usage of SFTs, exposures are risk-weighted by percentage factors depending on the SFT type. Exposures and limits for derivatives and SFTs are consolidated with general credit risk exposures in the global limit system to manage these within the overall credit processes.  As regards the methodologies used to assign economic capital for counterparty credit risk exposures, the Group uses its aforementioned internal PFE model. For information on the methodology applied to SFTs, see details under “Capital requirements measurement” below.  50  51  The Current Unsecured Exposure is the larger of zero and the market value of the portfolio of transactions within the netting set with a counterparty less the value of collateral received. It is the amount that would be lost upon the default of the counterparty, using the received collateral and assuming no recovery on the value of those transactions as well as immediate replacement of the swap counterparty for all the transactions.  Potential Future Exposure is computed taking into account the possible increase in the netting set’s exposure over the margin period of risk of 20 business days. The EIB computes the Potential Future Exposure at 90% confidence level using stressed market parameters to  arrive at conservative estimates. This is in line with the recommendations issued by regulators in order to take into consideration the conditions that will prevail in the event of default of an important market participant. 

 76 | December 2023 EIB Group Risk Management Disclosure Report  Policies related to guarantees and other credit risk mitigants, such as netting and the policies for securing collateral and establishing credit reserves  As referred to under Section 5.2, a number of credit risk mitigants are used to limit the EIB’s counterparty credit risk. To be able to trade OTC derivatives with the EIB, the internal guidelines require commercial banks to enter into an ISDA Master Agreement and an ISDA Credit Support Annex (‘CSA’), as applicable, that have independent amounts linked to the counterparty rating, and the counterparty also needs to satisfy a minimum rating requirement.  Currently, existing multilateral development bank and central bank counterparties are not required to enter into CSAs in line with the internal EIB risk guidelines.  In order to trade repos and reverse repos with the EIB, commercial banks need to enter into a Global Master Repurchase Agreement (GMRA) which contains the close-out netting provisions. The GMRAs currently in place do not have rating-dependent parameters.  Such legally enforceable master netting arrangements are generally accepted and practised contract types and create a right of set-off of recognised amounts that is enforceable only after termination of outstanding transactions following an event of default, including insolvency or bankruptcy, of either party.  More specifically, under such bilateral netting agreements, the amounts payable by each party on any day in respect of the same transaction and in the same currency may be aggregated into a single net amount being payable by one party to the other. In certain circumstances, for example when an event of default occurs, all outstanding transactions under the agreement are terminated, the termination value is assessed and only a single net amount is payable in settlement of all transactions.  Minimum conditions for new agreements are specified in the internal EIB risk guidelines.  Eligibility criteria for derivatives and repo counterparties as well as risk limits are set in internal policy guidelines approved by the MC. All derivative exposures are priced on a daily basis and, if applicable, collateralised by cash or bonds under a CSA which allows for daily margin calls in nearly all cases. The EIB does not post collateral under any CSA. Collateral received is monitored and valued regularly and an internal haircut that is at least as conservative as the regulatory haircut is applied for internal and external exposure measurement purposes. Margining for SFTs such as tri-party repos is outsourced to tri-party agents that calculate exposure and administer margin calls on an intra-day basis. Margining for SFTs such as bilateral repos is performed by the EIB on a daily basis. The exposure is fully collateralised at transaction level, with a subsequent call in accordance with the underlying agreement.  Under the terms of a CSA, securities received as collateral can be re-used. The terms of an ISDA Master Agreement also give the Group the right to terminate the related transactions upon the counterparty’s failure to post collateral after an applicable grace period following notice.  The Group receives a material amount of collateral for derivatives covered by a CSA and for reverse repurchase transactions covered by a GMRA. A comprehensive overview of the composition of collateral received for derivatives under an ISDA Master Agreement can be found in Note S.2.5.1, while a summary of collateral received in SFTs is given in Note S.2.4.2 of the EIB Group consolidated financial statements under IFRS.  As of 31.12.2023, the collateral received for derivatives is mainly concentrated in EUR and to a lesser extent in USD and GBP while collateral received under SFTs is denominated in a wider range of currencies accepted by the Group.  Under its contractual arrangements, the EIB Group is not required to post collateral in the event of a downgrade in its credit rating.  A reserve for derivatives counterparty credit risk is established. It is computed as a function of expected positive exposures and of internally estimated PDs and LGDs.  Policies with respect to Wrong-Way Risk as defined in Article 291 of the CRR  Wrong-way risk arises when there is significant increasing exposure to a counterparty combined with a simultaneous increase in the probability of the counterparty’s default. Wrong-way risk is commonly categorised into two types: Specific Wrong-Way Risk (SWWR) and General Wrong-Way Risk (GWWR). SWWR occurs when future exposure to a specific counterparty is highly (positively) correlated with the counterparty’s credit quality 

 Counterparty credit risk | 77  due to the nature of the transactions with that counterparty. It also arises when the counterparty’s credit quality is highly (positively) correlated with the collateral credit quality.  GWWR occurs when there is high (positive) correlation between the probability of default of a counterparty and general market risk factors affecting the exposure to that counterparty.  The EIB has procedures in place to actively identify, monitor and control SWWR at trade inception and continuing throughout its term. Since 2023, the SWWR component is taken into account in credit limit usage computation for treasury transactions, and mitigation measures are applied as per internal policies against counterparties exhibiting materially high SWWR levels. Furthermore, identified SWWR in derivatives is considered through additional stress applied to exposures.  Additionally, for derivative transactions, the EIB manages GWWR within the derivatives limit framework by applying conservative assumptions on market risk factor volatilities producing a strong positive correlation between the counterparty default and the Bank’s potential future exposure to that counterparty.  Capital requirements measurement  SFTs’ regulatory capital requirements are calculated under the Financial Collateral Comprehensive Method, as per Articles 223 and 285 of the CRR.  The Group treats its derivative exposures using the Standardised approach for Counterparty Credit Risk (‘SA- CCR’).  The regulatory capital requirements for credit valuation adjustment (CVA) risk are calculated in accordance with the standardised method and include both OTC derivatives and SFTs.  The disclosure templates below provide an overview of the exposures, RWEA and capital requirements the Group assumes with regard to counterparty credit risk. The Group has neither exposure on derivatives to a central counterparty clearing house (CCP), nor does it have any credit derivatives transactions. In terms of SFTs, it transacts cleared reverse repos and repos with two qualifying CCPs, the rest being dealt with through banking counterparties.

 82 | December 2023 EIB Group Risk Management Disclosure Report  7 Securitisation  The Group applies the EU securitisation framework, with adaptations as applicable to the EIB, which comprises:  Regulation (EU) 2017/2402 53 (the ‘Securitisation Regulation’) laying down a general framework for securitisation and establishing a set of criteria for identifying simple, transparent and standardised (‘STS’) securitisation; and  Regulation (EU) 2017/240154 (the ‘CRR amending Regulation’) containing targeted amendments to the CRR with regard to capital treatment of securitisations held by credit institutions, amongst other provisions (for example, significant risk transfer).  As per the Securitisation Regulation’s definitions, securitisation refers to a transaction or scheme where the credit risk associated with an exposure or pool of exposures is tranched and has the following characteristics:  payments in the transaction or scheme are dependent upon the performance of the exposure or of the pool of exposures;  the subordination of tranches determines the distribution of losses during the ongoing life of the transaction or scheme; and  the transaction or scheme does not create specialised lending exposures possessing all of the characteristics listed in CRR Article 147(8).  A “traditional securitisation” is one where there is an economic transfer of ownership of the exposures being securitised from the originator institution to a securitisation special purpose entity (‘SSPE’), while in a “synthetic securitisation” the transfer of risk is achieved by the use of credit derivatives or guarantees, and the exposures being securitised remain exposures of the originator.  A “re-securitisation” means securitisation where at least one of the underlying exposures is a securitisation position.  It should be noted that currently the Group’s securitisation positions are not benefiting from the STS (simple, transparent and standardised) preferential capital treatment and all securitisations are currently treated as non- STS.  The Group has exposure to both synthetic and traditional securitisations as investor and is the originator/sponsor of synthetic securitisations and one re-securitisation structure. The re-securitisation structure’s treatment has been retained based on Article 8(1) of the Securitisation Regulation55.  In a nutshell, the Group is involved in the following transactions (see next section for further details):  The EIB invests in loan substitutes, which are typically ABS.  The EIB is the originator/sponsor of synthetic securitisations and retains exposure to several facilities that focus on debt-based financing via loans and guarantees, where a part or the whole of the first loss piece is taken by a third party.  Under its Guarantee and Securitisation (‘G&S’) business, the EIF provides guarantees to financial intermediaries, credit enhancement to SME securitisation transactions and can purchase tranches of SME securitisation transactions.  Securitisation activities, related risks and the Group’s objectives  From an originator/sponsor perspective, the EIB Group has exposure to several synthetic securitisation programmes under mandate structures in which the risk transfer is done through guarantees (for example, InvestEU; its predecessor, the European Fund for Strategic Investments (EFSI); the Neighbourhood, Development and International Cooperation Instrument (NDICI)/European Fund for Sustainable Development Plus (EFSD+); its predecessor, the External Lending Mandate (‘ELM’); the Connecting Europe Facility (‘CEF’); InnovFin). Details on  53  54  55  As amended by Regulation (EU) 2021/557. As amended by Regulation (EU) 2021/558.  The ban on re-securitisations provided for by Article 8 of the Securitisation Regulation has been adapted for the EIB Group when acting as originator or sponsor in the context of Mandates. 

 Securitisation | 83  the exact objectives of these programmes can be found in Note Z of the EIB Group consolidated financial statements under EU-AD.  In its role as originator, the EIBG synthetically securitises its own originated loans/guarantees with credit enhancement provided by the EU/EU MS, resulting in capital relief for the EIBG. The EIB Group has an exposure to re-securitisations through the InvestEU D2 portfolio where it acts as originator in the context of mandates.  As a sponsor, the EIBG retains positions in synthetic mandate structures whose underlying assets are non- tranched debt and loans granted exclusively by a financial intermediary and provides capital relief to its clients.  The nature of its activities as originator/sponsor of synthetic securitisations exposes the Group not only to credit risk, but also to concentration risk, liquidity risk arising from the need to cover potential guarantee calls, foreign exchange risk if guarantees are not in EUR, and potentially prepayment risk.  When acting as investor, the EIBG provides and/or facilitates funding and/or capital relief to its clients.  The EIBG uses so-called loan substitutes as alternative financing structures to reach new clients, enhance value added and improve the Group’s risk profile.  By utilising capital market instruments, such as ABS as a substitute for loans, the Group significantly increases its ability to diversify the nature of its lending activity. In the field of SME securitisations, the EIB and the EIF cooperate closely to ensure a consistent risk assessment approach within the Group.  Through its Guarantee and Securitisation (‘G&S’) business, the EIF is a major provider of guarantees on SME financing and its aim is to catalyse bank lending to support SMEs and small mid-caps.  The EIF cooperates with financial intermediaries to provide guarantees on specific tranches of securitisation of SME loan/lease portfolios. These activities are split into own risk and third-party mandate resources:  The EIF provides unfunded guarantees to specific securitisation tranches with the aim to transfer risk from the financial institution that is the originator of the portfolio of loans or leases which represent the underlying assets of the securitisation. This activity enables additional financing to new SMEs by the financial institution that is benefiting from the risk transfer.  For third-party mandates, the EIF manages resources mainly on behalf of the EIB, the European Commission or Member States and regional authorities in mandate activities that facilitate the granting of loans and leases to SMEs, where the EIF acts as guarantor or counter-guarantor.  The different programmes are described further in the annual report of the EIF.  In its role as investor in traditional securitisations, the Group assumes in addition to credit risk various risks generally inherent in bonds - mainly prepayment risk, liquidity risk and foreign exchange risk.  Management, monitoring and reporting  Securitised loans under the InvestEU D1 and D2 debt portfolios, for which the EIB Group acts as originator, including former EFSI IIW (Infrastructure and Innovation Window) operations or similar structures are subject to the same approval, management, monitoring and reporting procedures as conventional lending transactions: namely, the information provided in Chapter 5 applies. The residual risk of these loans is significantly reduced by the EU guarantee. In addition, for operations under InvestEU, projects are submitted to the InvestEU Investment Committee for inclusion in the corresponding InvestEU debt portfolio partially guaranteed by the EU budget.  In relation to loan substitute transactions, the EIB Group attempts to minimise financial losses. This requires:  an appropriate financial structure, allocation and mitigation of risks, including an appropriate limit system also addressing EIB Group exposures;  the application of the four-eyes principle;  appropriate and enforceable documentation;  monitoring of the transaction after purchase;  timely and active management of transactions in distress.  Credit risk of loan substitutes is managed through an individual analysis of all inherent risks of a transaction, detailed analysis of new transactions and monitoring of the loan substitute portfolio, mainly relying on external ratings. Due to its importance, there is no cap on the overall volume of loan substitutes, unless they do not fulfil minimum acceptable criteria. EIB Group services monitor loan substitutes on a continuous basis and actions are taken with respect to any deterioration of credit quality. 

 84 | December 2023 EIB Group Risk Management Disclosure Report  Due to the complex structure of securitisations, the credit performance during times of stress can only be approximated. Therefore, the EIB’s credit review is prompted to identify the ability of the originator to cover high-quality assets in order to understand the nature and potential of the risks that arise in respect of the underlying asset pool.  The Group manages the credit risk arising from guarantee and securitisation transactions of the EIF that are financed by own resources under risk management policies (covered by the Statutes) and the EIF’s internal risk operational guidelines.  Each new transaction is reviewed in detail to analyse the risks, the methodologies that should be applied, and an internal rating assessment is performed.  The performance of each transaction is reviewed regularly, at least on a quarterly basis but more frequently for transactions not performing in line with the EIF’s expectations, and discussed at regular Portfolio IRC (Investment Risk Committee) meetings. Semi-annual risk reports are also submitted to the EIF Board of Directors and quarterly surveillance reports are submitted to the Portfolio IRC.  Further information with respect to the EIF’s guarantee activities and its management, monitoring and reporting can be found in both the Group consolidated financial statements and the EIF’s Annual Report.  Measurement  Following the EU securitisation framework, the Group applies the following hierarchy of approachesi:  For securitisation activities in which the EIB is the originator, such as the InvestEU D1 portfolio (including operations under the former EFSI Standard debt portfolio) and other mentioned facilities, and which are internally rated, the SEC-IRBA is used to calculate capital requirements.  The SEC-SA is mandatorily used for re-securitisations (InvestEU D2 portfolio), as well as positions for which the SEC-IRBA could not be applied (for example, structures originated by the EIF such as the SME Initiative mandates). The SEC-SA relies on a formula using as an input the underlying portfolio delinquency rates and respective asset classes.  When the first two approaches above cannot be followed, the Group applies the SEC-ERBA56 in the event that an external rating is available for the tranche.  The EIB Group applies the aforementioned hierarchy of approaches in line with the securitisation provisions of the CRR (which entered into force on 1 January 2019, following the enactment of Regulation (EU) 2017/2401)57.  External ratings from the major credit rating agencies (Moody’s, S&P and Fitch) are taken into consideration when applying the SEC-ERBA to determine the RWEA of securitisation exposures.  Securitisations positions that attract a 1250% risk weighting are deducted from Common Equity Tier 1 capital in accordance with point (k) of Article 36 of the CRR.  Summary of EIB Group accounting policies for the securitisation activity  All securitised exposures composed of loans or in some cases loan substitutes are retained on the balance sheet and those composed of guarantees are retained off-balance sheet. A summary of the applicable Group accounting policies under EU-AD is presented hereafter. The detailed accounting policies thereon are available in Note A.2.6. “Treasury bills and other bills eligible for refinancing with central banks and debt securities including fixed-income securities”, Note A.2.7. “Loans and advances to credit institutions and customers”, and Note A.2.14. “Financial guarantees” of the EIB Group consolidated financial statements under EU-AD.  Loans and advances are included in the assets of the Group at their net disbursed amounts. Individual value adjustments have been recorded for loans outstanding at the end of the period and presenting risks of non- recovery of all or part of their amounts. Collective value adjustments have been recorded to capture loans in the portfolio which are impaired but have not yet been identified as such or for losses which have been incurred but not yet reported. Such value adjustments are held in the same currency as the assets to which they relate.  Value adjustments are accounted for in the profit and loss account and are deducted from the appropriate asset items on the balance sheet.  56  57  According to CRR Article 254 (2)(b), the SEC-ERBA shall be used when the application of the SEC-SA would result in a risk weight higher than 25% or the application of the SEC-ERBA would result in a risk weight higher than 75 % for positions not qualifying as STS.  As amended by Regulation (EU) 2021/558. 

 Securitisation | 85  Undisbursed parts of loans and advances are recorded off-balance sheet at their nominal value.  The Loan substitutes portfolio and the ABS portfolio for which the EIB Group acts as an investor mainly consist of obligations in the form of bonds, notes or certificates issued by special purpose vehicles (‘SPVs’), trust vehicles or financial institutions. These securities are initially recorded at purchase price and subsequently valued at amortised cost. The difference between purchase price and redemption value is accounted for pro rata temporis over the life of the securities as “Interest receivable and similar income”. Individual value adjustments are accounted for if these are other than temporary.  Collective value adjustments are recorded to capture contracts which are impaired but have not yet been identified as such respectively for losses incurred but not yet reported. Individual and collective value adjustments are recorded in the profit and loss account and are deducted from the appropriate asset items on the balance sheet.  Undisbursed parts of loan substitutes are recorded in off-balance sheet at their nominal value.  Financial guarantee contracts require the issuer to make specified payments to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs if a particular debtor fails to make payment when due under the original or modified terms of a debt instrument.  Net liabilities from financial guarantees are presented on the balance sheet as a provision intended to cover risks inherent in the Group’s activity of issuing guarantees in favour of financial intermediaries or issued in respect of loans granted by third parties.  Financial guarantees are initially recognised at fair value corresponding to the net present value (‘NPV’) of expected premium inflows or the initial expected loss.  Subsequent to initial recognition, financial guarantees are measured as the deficit of the net present value of expected future premium inflows over the higher of:  the amount of the expected credit loss; and  the fair value initially recognised less any cumulative amount of income/amortisation recognised.  Unrealised gains representing the excess of the net present value of expected future premium inflows over the amount of the expected payment obligations remain unrecognised.  Any increase or decrease in the net liability relating to financial guarantees is recognised in the profit and loss account.  Signed financial guarantees are generally accounted for and disclosed as off-balance sheet items.

 90 | December 2023 EIB Group Risk Management Disclosure Report  8 Leverage ratio  Internal leverage measures  The Group uses the gearing ratio to limit the excess of leverage. This statutory ratio is defined as “the aggregate amount outstanding at any time of loans and guarantees granted by the Bank, which shall not exceed 250% of its subscribed capital, reserves, non-allocated provisions and profit and loss account surplus. The latter aggregate amount shall be reduced by an amount equal to the amount subscribed (whether or not paid in) for any equity participation of the Bank” (Article 16.5 of the Bank’s Statute). The ratio is calculated on an individual and consolidated basis.  Additionally, the Bank measures leverage via an internal liability leverage ratio, defined as the ratio between outstanding debt and own funds. The indicator is monitored on an ongoing basis at Bank level.  Both ratios are regularly reported to senior management. As part of the Group OP/Group Capital Plan, the ratios are projected under different scenarios in order to ensure that the relevant limits are respected going forward.  CRR leverage ratio  The CRR leverage ratio serves as a non-risk-based “backstop” measure, to supplement risk-based capital requirements. It aims to constrain the build-up of excess leverage in the banking sector, as well as provide a safeguard against the risks associated with risk models (model risk and measurement errors).  The leverage ratio is currently calculated based on Article 429 of the CRR which introduced a minimum leverage ratio within the European Union of 3%, determined as the ratio of Tier 1 capital [Common Equity Tier 1 plus Additional Tier 1 Capital (‘AT1’)] divided by the regulatory leverage exposure measure (balance sheet and off- balance sheet exposures). The binding leverage ratio of 3% became applicable on 28 June 2021 and failure to comply with the leverage ratio buffer requirement will result in a distribution restriction and the calculation of maximum distributable amount (L-MDA). Since 1 January 2023, an additional leverage ratio buffer requirement for global systemically important institutions (G-SIIs), equal to 50% of the applicable G-SII buffer rate applies61.  The CRR leverage ratio, including the additional self-imposed add-on buffer requirement for systemic relevance, applied by the EIB as BBP, is regularly reported to the Group’s senior management.  The Group has put in place procedures and resources to assess and manage the risk of excessive leverage. The leverage ratio is part of the annual capital planning process and internal limits are defined, which, if breached, trigger an escalation process defined in the EIB Group RP. Maturity mismatches and asset encumbrance are managed within the liquidity risk metrics described in Section 9.  Template EU LR2 - LRCom: Leverage ratio common disclosure  This template presents the constituents of the leverage ratio exposure metrics (denominator of the leverage ratio), overall leverage ratio and buffer requirements.  Amounts are in EUR million, unless otherwise indicated  CRR leverage ratio exposures  a  b  31.12.2023  30.06.2023  On-balance sheet exposures (excluding derivatives and SFTs)  1  On-balance sheet items (excluding derivatives, SFTs, but including collateral)  512,055  523,625  2  Gross-up for derivatives collateral provided where deducted from the balance sheet assets pursuant to the applicable accounting framework  -  -  3  (Deductions of receivables assets for cash variation margin provided in derivatives transactions)  -  -  4  (Adjustment for securities received under securities financing transactions that are recognised as an asset)  -  -  61 Pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2020/873 of the European Parliament and of the Council.

The Group’s leverage ratio is well above the regulatory minimum of 3.0% and required leverage buffer of 3.5%64 and it takes into account the Group CET1 ratio of EUR 79.3 billion over an applicable total exposure measure of EUR 665.0 billion (EUR 77.9 billion and EUR 663.2 billion as of 30 June 2023, respectively).  During the second half of 2023, the Group leverage ratio increased by 0.2% largely driven by an increase of the Common Equity Tier 1 (see row 23 above) combined with a decrease in the leverage exposure, mainly caused by the reduction of on-balance sheet exposures.  The leverage ratio is not sensitive to risk factors and, on this basis, is considered to be a measure that complements the Group’s risk capital metrics (CET1 ratio).  64  See footnote 62.

 Liquidity risk | 95  Liquidity risk  Internal framework for liquidity risk management  Liquidity risk is defined as the risk of the Group’s ability to fund increases in assets and meet obligations as they come due, without incurring unacceptable losses. It can be further split into funding liquidity risk and market liquidity risk. Funding liquidity risk is the risk of being unable to refinance the asset side of its balance sheet and to meet payment obligations punctually and in full out of readily available liquid resources. Market liquidity risk is the volatility in the economic value of the assets or in the income due to the potential inability to execute a transaction to offset, eliminate or reduce outstanding positions at reasonable market prices.  The EIB is an eligible counterparty in Eurosystem monetary policy operations. As such, the EIB has access to the ECB’s refinancing operations. Within the context of the EIB’s access to the ECB’s liquidity facilities, the BCL, on behalf of the ECB, performs liquidity assessments on the EIB periodically, aimed at monitoring its liquidity position and liquidity risk management activities.  For liquidity management and liquidity risk management, the Group follows a decentralised model where both the EIB and the EIF have a separate liquidity framework in place tailored to the entity business model with the objective of ensuring that each entity can always meet its payment obligations punctually and in full. Both entities, the EIB and the EIF, have in place an independent Risk Management function monitoring and controlling the liquidity risk of each respective entity. For the EIB, the liquidity risk management framework follows the same organisational structure as described in Section 3.3 of the GRMDR. More specifically, there are different specialised EIB committees involved in liquidity risk-related matters such as the RPC at Board level or, for example, the Asset/Liability Committee (ALCO) at service level. The EIF’s Asset and Liquidity Committee (ALC) is involved in oversight and management of EIF liquidity risks.  Given the Bank’s business model, wholesale long-term funding primarily through bond issuance is the prevailing source of resources for its lending activities. The funding strategy of the EIB relies on the issuance of large and liquid benchmark transactions in the main currencies (EUR and USD). These benchmark transactions are complemented by targeted issuance offerings, prudent diversification of investors, currencies and markets. A growing issuance share comes in the form of Climate and Sustainability Awareness Bonds, whose proceeds are allocated to disbursements of projects contributing substantially to climate and sustainability objectives, respectively, in line with evolving EU legislation. A breakdown of debt securities issued by the EIB is provided in Note K of the EIB statutory financial statements and EIB Group consolidated financial statements under EU-AD65.  In defining its funding programme, the Bank considers all relevant future cash flows in a prudent manner and pays due regard to the control of the structural maturity mismatch between its lending and borrowing activities. The Bank has a specific policy in place on the transfer of costs to the client.  T manage its liquid assets, the Bank holds a liquidity buffer composed of several treasury portfolios with short, medium and long-term investment horizons, each of them managed according to risk guidelines approved by the MC. In addition, the liquidity buffer is also composed of unencumbered and re-usable collateral received. Further to this, the Bank can participate in the monetary refinancing operations of the Eurosystem, through its access to the BCL66.  By contrast, the EIF does not fund itself on the capital markets. Liquid assets are managed by the EIF67 in such a way as to ensure that guarantee calls, private equity drawdowns and administrative expenditures can be regularly met, while earning a reasonable return on the assets invested, compatible with the protection of the value of the paid-in capital. The Fund has the vast majority of its available cash invested in the long-term treasury portfolio composed of highly liquid bond portfolio holdings as a reserve.  65  66  67  Further information on the funding strategy of the Bank can be found in Section 3 - Funding activities of the Overview of the EIB Group Financial Report and in the Investor Relations tab of the EIB website.  Further information on the treasury portfolios of the EIBG can be found in Notes A 2.6 and B.2 of the EIB Group Financial Statements under EU-AD.  The management of the EIF long-term treasury bond portfolio is delegated to the EIB with the oversight of EIF first and second lines of defence. 

 96 | December 2023 EIB Group Risk Management Disclosure Report  The Bank uses derivative instruments as part of its Asset and Liability Management activities, to manage interest rate, maturity mismatch, cross-currency basis and foreign currency risks and reduce the exposures to such risks68.  The Bank’s exposure to derivative counterparts is mitigated through CSAs to the ISDA Master Agreements, which provide for daily collateralisation of exposures as explained in Chapter 6. The CSAs signed by the Bank are unilateral (or one-way), meaning that the EIB is not obliged to post collateral - neither in the form of cash, nor securities - as it would be under an ordinary CSA. Within the unilateral CSA framework, the Bank is also executing cross-currency swaps with quarterly resets of their nominal to match the changes in the relevant FX rate over the period. These resets are settled in cash on a quarterly basis.  The Bank’s internal policies related to liquidity risk identification, measurement, monitoring, including limit setting, compliance and reporting, as well as the broad organisational framework to implement such rules are documented in the FRG. For the EIF, the liquidity risk principles are documented in the EIF’s Financial Risk Policy Guidelines, and further defined in additional procedures.  Management, monitoring and reporting  The Group has in place sound internal processes for identifying, measuring, monitoring and controlling liquidity risk. The management, monitoring and reporting are implemented within the Group taking into consideration proportionality and the business model specificities of each entity.  On a daily basis, information about EIB daily cash flows in all the operating currencies is available for the purposes of short-term liquidity planning and investment. On a weekly and end-of-month basis, all cash flows arising from assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet items are simulated over several time horizons, under both “base-case” and internally determined “stressed” conditions.  For the EIF, short-term liquidity planning under base-case conditions is done by the first line of defence on a weekly basis. Asset, liability and off- balance sheet cash flow simulations are performed by the second line of defence over different time horizons on a monthly basis, under internally determined “stressed” conditions, reflecting the EIF’s business model.  The EIB Group performs liquidity stress tests, at Group level and at Group entity level, as necessary. Stress tests are designed by taking into consideration the EIBG’s business activities, the funding sources and its financial products. The cash flow projections contribute to determining the appropriate size of the Bank’s liquidity buffer, by ensuring that it is sufficient to cover the Bank’s future net cash outflows under all conditions, “base-case” and “stressed” alike. The results of the stress tests are regularly reported to the ALCO. Liquidity adequacy at the EIF is monitored through internal liquidity risk indicators calculated under stress assumptions regarding both cash flows and liquidity buffer. The stress test scenarios are designed to ensure that the Fund has put in place adequate liquidity buffers against prospective net cash outflows over different time horizons. The results are reported to the ALC on a quarterly basis.  Tolerance levels and limits for the internal liquidity risk indicators are specified in the Group RAF with the aim of ensuring that the Bank and the Fund hold an adequate liquidity buffer to cover their future net cash outflows. Such indicators are calculated by the EIB on a daily, weekly and monthly basis, and by the EIF on a monthly basis. The Group RAF indicators are approved by the Board of Directors through the respective RAFs and are subject to regular updates to ensure their ongoing adherence to the business model of the two entities.  The Risk Management functions of both the EIB and the EIF report the level of the liquidity risk indicators to senior management on a monthly basis. During 2023, all liquidity risk indicators were well in line with the approved risk tolerance.  In line with the BBP, both the EIB and the EIF have in place standalone contingency funding plans that define the escalation procedures and course of actions in the event of a liquidity crisis. The contingency plans may be activated as a result of extraordinary market conditions and/or as a result of the internal liquidity indicators reaching pre-defined crisis levels. The EIB Group also has available a Group Contingency Funding Plan (GCFP), which is updated and tested on an annual basis.  68  Further information on the use of derivatives can be found in Note V and section A.2.3 of the EIB Group Financial Statements under EU- AD. 

 Liquidity risk | 97  Further information on the Group’s liquidity risk management is provided in the EIB Group consolidated financial statements under IFRS, Note S.3. These also provide the maturity profile for derivative and non-derivative financial liabilities.  Internal Liquidity Adequacy Assessment Process (ILAAP)  As an integral part of its risk management framework, the EIB Group has in place an Internal Liquidity Adequacy Assessment Process. In addition to this, a standalone ILAAP is prepared by the Fund, which is tailored to its specific business model. Both entities in the Group have established robust liquidity risk management frameworks and liquidity risk is managed prudently in order to ensure the regular functioning of the core activities under both normal and stressed conditions. Relevant policies and practices are in place and in line with the identified liquidity risk tolerance levels and are communicated to senior management through internal reporting tools in order to facilitate the robust measurement, monitoring and control of liquidity risk.  Stress tests aiming to test the Group’s overall capacity to withstand hypothetical adverse liquidity conditions are performed in the context of the ILAAP. Such scenarios are performed coherently across the Group and consist of: (i) an idiosyncratic scenario; (ii) a market-wide scenario; (iii) a scenario combining market and idiosyncratic elements; and (iv) a scenario related to operational risk. On top of the aforementioned scenarios performed at consolidated level, recently the EIF introduced a standalone stress test scenario combining market and idiosyncratic elements with respect to the EIF exposures to address the potential standalone consequences of severe liquidity outflows at the EIF. Lastly, in order to complement the aforementioned “traditional” stress tests, a reverse stress test is performed by both entities of the Group, with the objective of assessing a hypothetical extreme scenario that would lead to a pre-defined severe impact in the liquidity risk indicators.  Within the annual approval of the EIB Group ILAAP, the Board of Directors of the EIB, as the Board of the Group parent company, approved the Liquidity Adequacy Statement (“LAS”) for the EIB Group, having acknowledged all assumptions, arguments and facts, underlying the conclusions of the EIB Group ILAAP. The BoD took note that liquidity RAF metrics defined on an EIB consolidated and standalone basis, as well as on an EIF standalone basis, were within their respective limits and were assessed by means of liquidity stress tests considered for the Group ILAAP. The BoD concluded that the liquidity assessment framework of the EIB Group is adequate and proportionate to its business model, both from a point in time as well as from a forward-looking perspective.  Liquidity coverage ratio (LCR)  The EIB Group implemented the LCR in line with Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 2015/6169.  The LCR is calculated and monitored on an EIB standalone, as well as on an EIB Group consolidated basis, in its reporting currency (EUR) as defined in Article 3 of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/61. The EIB standalone LCR is calculated daily and the EIB Group LCR is calculated monthly.  Furthermore, the LCR is monitored for significant70 currencies (EUR, GBP and USD as at 31.12.2023). Consistency of the currency denomination of its liquid assets with its net liquidity outflows is ensured by the EIB Group on an ongoing basis, in order to prevent an excessive currency mismatch. The EIB Group LCR as at 31.12.2023 stood at 437.5% (31.12.2022: 352.4%). The increase year-on-year is driven by both a decrease in net cash outflows counterbalanced by a decrease in HQLA. In particular, the HQLA decreased by EUR 26 billion, over the course of last year, attributed to the decrease in Level 1 assets. The net cash outflows decreased by EUR 10 billion, as a result of increased inflows from secured financing transactions and increased outflows from unsecured wholesale funding.  Composition of HQLA and net cash outflows  The HQLA (regulatory liquidity buffer) as at 31 December 2023 of EUR 45 billion is primarily driven by the Level 1 securities (61%) and Level 1 cash and reserves at the Central Bank (33%). The Level 2a and Level 2b securities comprise 5% and 1% of the total HQLA, respectively. The average total HQLA held throughout 2023 amounted to EUR 61 billion.  69  70  As amended by Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 2018/1620.  A currency is deemed “significant” according to the CRR definition if “the aggregate liabilities denominated in a given currency amount to 5% or more of the bank's total liabilities excluding capital and off-balance sheet items”. 

 98 | December 2023 EIB Group Risk Management Disclosure Report  The net cash outflows as at 31 December 2023 of EUR 10 billion are the result of EUR 29 billion of inflows and EUR 39 billion of outflows. The main elements of the LCR denominator are loan cash flows (both inflows and outflows), inflows from secured financing transactions and wholesale funding due redemptions. A significant part of the outflows is related to additional collateral outflows that would result from the impact of an adverse market scenario on the Bank’s derivatives transactions 71 , which is calculated based on the regulatory 24 months historical look-back approach.  Other items relevant for the Group’s liquidity profile  The Bank operates in a multicurrency environment and uses different settlement platforms and correspondent banks that impose time constraints within the day to perform the settlement of payments. As a result the Bank is exposed to intra-day liquidity risk. The Bank actively manages its intra-day liquidity positions and risks to ensure that all payments and settlement obligations are met in a timely manner, under both normal and stressed conditions. In addition, several proactive and reactive mitigation actions have been implemented to manage this risk.  The intra-day liquidity risk is monitored by the first and second lines of defence on a daily and monthly basis, under both normal and stressed scenarios.  71  Further information on the collateral received on secured financing transactions and derivative transactions can be found in sections  S.2.4.2 and S.2.5.1 of the EIB Group consolidated financial statements under IFRS.

 Liquidity risk | 101  9.4 Net stable funding ratio (NSFR)  The NSFR is a regulatory liquidity metric that aims to limit overreliance on short-term wholesale funding and encourages better assessment of funding risk across all on- and off-balance sheet items, promoting funding stability. The NSFR is defined as the amount of available stable funding (ASF) relative to the amount of required stable funding (RSF) and should be equal to at least 100%.  The EIB Group implemented the NSFR in line with the CRR.  The NSFR is calculated and monitored on an EIB standalone, as well as on an EIB Group consolidated basis, in the reporting currency (EUR). The EIB standalone NSFR is calculated monthly and the EIB Group NSFR is calculated quarterly. Furthermore, the NSFR is monitored for all significant currencies (EUR, GBP and USD as at 31.12.2023).  As of 31 December 2023, the EIB Group NSFR stood at 118.6% (31.12.2022: 125%), well above the minimum regulatory requirement of 100%. Over 2023, the ratio remained stable, averaging at 123%. The template below presents an overview of the calculation of the NSFR-based figures for end of December 2023.  At 31 December 2023, the main sources of ASF were long-term wholesale funding (for example, own bond issuances) which formed 79% of total ASF (31.12.2022: 82%) and capital items which formed 18% of it (31.12.2022: 17%), after applying the relevant weights. At 31 December 2023, the RSF was predominantly composed of loans and securities, which formed 91% of total RSF (31.12.2022: 91%), after applying the relevant weights.  Template EU LIQ2 - Net Stable Funding Ratio  The template below presents an overview of the calculation of the Group NSFR.  Amounts are in EUR million, unless otherwise indicated  31.12.2023  a  b  c  d  e  Unweighted value by residual maturity  Weighted value  No  maturity  < 6  months  6 months  to < 1yr  ≥ 1yr  Available stable funding (ASF) Items  1  Capital items and instruments  81,049  -  -  -  81,049  2  Own funds  81,049  -  -  -  81,049  3  Other capital instruments  -  -  -  -  4  Retail deposits  -  -  -  -  5  Stable deposits  -  -  -  -  6  Less stable deposits  -  -  -  -  7  Wholesale funding:  52,524  39,011  346,875  367,337  8  Operational deposits  -  -  -  -  9  Other wholesale funding  52,524  39,011  346,875  367,337  10  Interdependent liabilities  -  -  -  -  11  Other liabilities:  7,832  16,259  460  3,928  4,158  12  NSFR derivative liabilities  7,832  13  All other liabilities and capital instruments not included in the above categories  16,259  460  3,928  4,158  14  Total available stable funding (ASF)  452,544  Required stable funding (RSF) Items  15  Total high-quality liquid assets (HQLA)  1,007  EU-15a  Assets encumbered for a residual maturity of one year or more in a cover pool  -  -  -  -  16  Deposits held at other financial institutions for operational purposes  -  -  -  -  17  Performing loans and securities:  52,353  20,147  400,818  347,155

Marketable, high-quality assets that are unencumbered are part of a liquid asset portfolio as they can generally help to obtain emergency liquidity in stress situations.  The main sources of asset encumbrance for the EIB Group are the EIB’s treasury operations with financial institutions and central banks. The Group does not, at present, engage in securities lending activities nor does it issue covered bonds. In addition, no assets are posted as security with settlement systems in the form of default funds and initial margins. A daily monitoring process for unencumbered and encumbered assets is in place.  As of 31.12.2023, the Bank’s EBA asset encumbrance ratio amounts to 0.3% (31.12.2022: 0.7%) as measured in accordance with Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 2021/451. The ratio has decreased compared to the previous reporting period and remains overall very low.  The disclosures below follow the EBA’s disclosure templates on asset encumbrance. The templates report the median values over the last four quarter-ends, as required by applicable regulatory requirements.  73  Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 451/2021 of 17 December 2020, which repealed Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 680/2014.

 106 | December 2023 EIB Group Risk Management Disclosure Report  Market risk  Foreign exchange risk  The Group does not have regulatory own funds requirements for market risk in the trading book. Non-trading book positions are however subject to foreign exchange risk. According to Article 351 of the CRR, should the net foreign exchange position exceed 2% of the Group’s total own funds, the Group shall calculate an own funds requirement for foreign exchange risk. The management of foreign exchange risk at the Group is described in the following section.  Foreign exchange (FX) risk is the risk to the economic value or to the income derived from the Group’s positions due to adverse movements of foreign exchange rates.  The entities of the Group have different business models and separate governing frameworks (the principles of which are laid down in their respective Statutes and Rules and Procedures) and thus follow different day-to-day management approaches with respect to FX risk.  The Group is exposed to FX risk whenever there is a currency mismatch between its assets, liabilities and hedge instruments. FX risk also comprises the effect of unfavourable changes in the value of the Group’s future P&L caused by currency movements. More specifically, at the EIB, FX risk arises from specific transactions that involve FX conversions and P&L generation by non-EUR assets and liabilities. At the EIF, FX risk stems primarily from guarantees and equity operations. More details on the management of FX risk at the EIB and the EIF are presented hereafter.  Management of FX risk at the EIB  The main objective of the EIB’s FX risk management is to minimise to the extent possible the effect of variation of FX rates on the Bank’s P&L statement.  The key bodies involved in the management of FX risk in the Bank are the MC and the ALCO.  The EIB’s “Operational Open FX position” (hereafter the “FX position”) for risk management is defined, for each non-reporting currency, as the balance between the accounting value of assets and liabilities under EU-AD and measured in EUR equivalent. It is in line with the "Net FX position” defined in the CRR for regulatory capital calculation purposes, except for the CIUs, which are considered in the respective fund’s currency (that is, the LTA is not applied for the management of the Operational Open FX position). The FX position for each non-reporting currency is monitored daily. It is impacted by transactions that create a mismatch between assets and liabilities. On a monthly basis, the P&L impact is taken into account and hedged. The Bank hedges its FX risk by keeping the FX position for each non-reporting currency within pre-approved limits. In the event of a hedging requirement, the position is reduced by FX spot deals within the same day.  Risk Management, as a second line of defence, is in charge of independently monitoring the daily FX position. The Finance Directorate/Operational Support and Monitoring division, as a first line of defence, is in charge of calculating and reporting on a daily basis the FX position to the Finance Directorate/Treasury that manages the position.  Management of the FX risk at the EIF  At the EIF, FX risk is monitored and managed at business line and product level via value-at-risk models:  The EIF monitors securitisation guarantees on a continuous basis via the ABS cash flow model which takes into account the FX risk of the underlying assets, if any. Following a deviation from the expected performance or an ad-hoc event, surveillance triggers might be breached. In such cases, a model rerun may be required leading to an update of internal ratings and risk parameters. When downgrades imply reclassification to Stage 374, risk management analyses whether hedging a certain part of the exposure would be recommended based on potential cash outflows.  Non-EUR transactions under portfolio guarantees (risk-sharing mandates, RSM) are initially hedged by purchasing 50% of the expected loss (EL). The hedged amount is reassessed by the Fund’s risk management team on a yearly basis for each transaction according to the Exposure at Risk (EaR) and the cumulative EL of  74  That is, credit-impaired in accordance with the staging concept of IFRS 9. 

 Market risk | 107  both drawn and undrawn amounts. However, the final hedging decisions are based on the aggregated EaR by currency within each RSM portfolio.  Currencies that cannot be traded remain unhedged. Unhedged exposures are monitored with the use of the FX VaR model. The EIF allocates capital to all open FX positions. VaR limits are defined corresponding to the target size of the respective RSM portfolio and their breach triggers corrective actions (increased monitoring, limitation of future commitments in specific currencies, etc.)  The main FX exposure for the EIF’s equity investments lies at the level of the underlying assets. The FX risk arises from fluctuations in the fair value of the EIF’s portfolio (expressed in EUR) of underlying investee companies in response to the volatility of the investee companies’ currencies.  Given the uncertainty on the timing and quantum of cash flows, the equity portfolio is kept unhedged. Therefore FX risk is one of the factors behind the equity portfolio performance.  Capital requirements of the EIB Group  The FX capital requirement of the Group is computed based on the "Net FX position” of the Group, defined according to CRR (Articles 351 to 354), and therefore including FX risk arising from any gold position and CIUs. For the latter, the EIB applies the LTA.  The Group’s "Net FX position” calculated for regulatory/capitalisation purposes differs from the “Operational Open FX position” used for management purposes (as mentioned above) where underlying investments of CIUs are assumed to be denominated in the same currency as the CIU.  As of 31 December 2023, the net FX position of the Group exceeded 2% of its regulatory own funds (the “de minimis requirement”), therefore capital requirements were calculated for foreign exchange risk.  Template EU MR1 - Market risk under the standardised approach  The template below provides the breakdown of RWEAs for market risk under the standardised approach.  Amounts are in EUR million, unless otherwise indicated  a  RWEAs  Outright products  1  Interest rate risk (general and specific)  -  2  Equity risk (general and specific)  -  3  Foreign exchange risk  1,705  4  Commodity risk  -  Options  5  Simplified approach  -  6  Delta-plus approach  -  7  Scenario approach  -  8  Securitisation (specific risk)  -  9  Total  1,705 

 108 | December 2023 EIB Group Risk Management Disclosure Report  Interest rate and credit spread risk in the banking book  Interest rate risk in the Banking Book (IRRBB)  From a Group perspective, interest rate risk is defined as the risk to the economic value of equity/own funds (EVE) or to the net interest income (NII) arising from adverse movements in interest rates that affect interest rate-sensitive instruments, including gap risk, basis risk and option risk.  Scope  The scope of interest rate-sensitive instruments are all assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet items in the non- trading book, excluding assets deducted from CET1 capital. Exposure to interest rate risk occurs when there are differences in repricing and maturity characteristics of the different asset, liability and hedging instruments.  Governance  The BoD sets the Bank’s risk appetite for interest rate risk in the banking book from both an earnings and economic value perspective. The EIF’s risk appetite does not currently include specific limits for IRRBB, but the EIF instead allocates economic capital to cover its interest rate risk exposures.  It is the responsibility of the MC to approve the interest rate strategy of the EIB, while ensuring that it remains within the risk appetite limits. The MC is assisted by the ALCO in the monitoring and management of IRRBB. The ALCO itself is supported by a permanent working group on interest rate risk monitoring. Reporting directly to the ALCO, this working group reviews and analyses the interest rate risk exposures, discusses possible hedging actions based on recommendations from the Treasury (first line of defence (LoD)) and reports to the ALCO on the operational actions taken by the first LoD. The decision on, and execution of, hedging actions remains under the responsibility of the first LoD.  Key IRRBB risk metrics and their evolution are reported monthly to the governing bodies.  Risk management and mitigation  The EIB follows relevant key principles of the EBA75 and the BCBS76 in its management and monitoring of interest rate risk. As prescribed by those principles the EIB manages the IRRBB from both NII and EVE perspectives, seeking to maintain a balanced and sustainable revenue profile as well as limiting the volatility of its economic value.  For managing and mitigating interest rate exposures, a preference is given to natural hedges. Natural hedges occur in the course of normal business activity when assets (loans) and liabilities (borrowings) net out their interest rate exposures. When natural hedges are not sufficient for managing the interest rate exposures, the Bank makes use of derivative instruments. The most common types of derivatives used by the Bank are interest rate swaps (IRS) and cross-currency swaps77.  The Bank uses both micro and macro hedging approaches. A hedge is defined as micro when it matches back-to- back the interest rate structure of a specific loan or borrowing. A macro-hedge rather serves the purpose of rebalancing the interest rate exposure at portfolio level.  To reduce the volatility of IFRS accounting P&L, the Bank applies, when possible, both fair value and cash flow hedge accounting methods:  Fair value hedges recognise the derivative’s hedging of changes in the fair value of a recognised fixed-rate loan or bond.  75  76  77  EBA Guidelines on the management of interest rate risk and credit spread risk arising from non-trading book activities – EBA/GL/2022/14, applicable from 30 June 2023, except for the part on credit spread risk from the banking book (CSRBB), which applies from 31 December 2023.  BCBS 368: Standards for Interest Rate Risk in the Banking Book (IRRBB) (April 2016).  Contracts that involve the exchange of notional in two different currencies at the beginning and at the end of the swap, and the exchange of floating rates during the contract term. 

 Interest rate and credit spread risk in the banking book | 109  Cash flow hedges recognise the derivative’s hedging of changes in the future cash flows of floating-rate instruments.  The EIF does not hedge its interest rate exposures but instead allocates economic capital to cover its interest rate risk exposure (as also mentioned above). The EIF is primarily exposed to gap risk, it is not exposed to basis risk and has a limited exposure to option risks (through the callable treasury bonds and the interest rate floor on ABS cash investments).  11.1.1 Gap risk  Gap risk78 is the risk resulting from differences in the term structure of interest rate-sensitive instruments. It is measured as the impact on the term structure arising from parallel or non-parallel moves across the yield curve.  For the Bank, gap risk stems from its interest rate risk strategy currently targeting a duration for the investment of its own funds between 3 and 4 years.  For the EIF, the major interest rate-sensitive exposures are its pension DBO79 liability and fixed income treasury portfolio.  Management, monitoring and reporting  The EIB measures and reports gap risk in terms of sensitivity, duration of own funds and stress scenarios (stress tests are also performed at EIB Group level):  Basis Point Value (BPV) sensitivity: shows the change in the net present value (NPV) of interest rate- sensitive instruments/portfolios due to a 1 basis point increase in the interest rate curves. The EIB’s operational interest rate risk exposure in terms of BPV sensitivity by maturity ranges and currency is monitored and managed on a daily basis, within pre-approved limits, by the Treasury (first line of defence (LoD)), and reported to the ALM division in GR&C-RM (second LoD). The ALM division in GR&C-RM monitors the limits’ compliance in the context of the operational ALM activities and also validates the reported interest rate risk exposure on a weekly basis.  Duration of own funds: measures the sensitivity of the EVE to changes in interest rates, expressed in years. This metric is used to set the IRR strategy of the Bank in terms of target duration of own funds. The target duration, which is periodically reassessed by the ALCO must lie within a target range of 3.5 to 6.5 years80. Changes in the target duration are submitted for approval to the MC.  Stress scenarios: stress tests are performed on a regular basis. The impacts of severe scenarios on both the EVE and the NII are assessed regularly. The stress tests include: (i) the EBA standardised interest rate shocks81;  (ii) internally developed scenarios, such as a macroeconomic stress test scenario; and (iii) reverse stress tests. Ad-hoc analyses are performed in order to assess the impact on the interest rate risk exposures arising from new products and structures, or from new market developments.  78  79  80  81  The EBA defines gap risk as the “risk resulting from the term structure of interest rate sensitive instruments that arises from differences in the timing of their rate changes, covering changes to the term structure of interest rates occurring consistently across the yield curve (parallel risk) or differentially by period (non-parallel risk)” (EBA/GL/2022/14).  Defined-benefit obligations (DBO) represent the present value of the pension benefits earned by the employees. For operational purposes, +/-0.5 years deviations from the target duration are allowed.  EBA/RTS/2022/10. 

 110 | December 2023 EIB Group Risk Management Disclosure Report  Template EU IRRBB1 - Interest rate risks of non-trading book activities  This template provides quantitative information on the impact of interest rate supervisory shocks scenarios on the change in the economic value of equity and net interest income, calculated on the basis of a set of common modelling and parametric assumptions as referred to in Article 98 (5a), (b) and (c) of the CRD.  Amounts are in EUR million, unless otherwise indicated  a  c  Supervisory shock scenarios  Changes of the economic value of equity  Changes of the net interest income  31.12.2023  31.12.2023  1  Parallel up  -4,285  81  2  Parallel down  5,721  -227  3  Steepener  531  4  Flattener  1,071  5  Short rate up  -162  6  Short rate down  2,221  The scenario that would produce the largest EVE decrease is the parallel up, causing a decrease equivalent to 5.4% of CET1. The year-on-year decrease is mainly driven by the change in the interest rate risk strategy, which in 2023 switched from a duration target between 4.5 and 5.5 years to a target between 3 and 4 years.  The scenario that would produce the largest NII decrease is the parallel down, causing a decrease equivalent to 0.3% of CET1.  Key modelling and parametric assumptions  The models and key assumptions used to produce the economic value of equity sensitivity in the table above are the same as those used in the operational measurement of the interest rate risk exposures:  Risk-free yield curves: the projection of forward rates and the computation of discount factors are performed using risk-free yield curves that do not include any commercial, credit or liquidity spreads.  Non-performing exposures: even though the non-performing exposures ratio is below the regulatory 2%, the Bank still conservatively includes them in the interest rate risk exposure.  Run-off balance sheet: existing positions that mature are not replaced with new business in the EVE stress tests.  Margin-free cash flows: commercial margins are not included in the projection of interest payments for the EVE-related metrics and stress tests.  Pension obligations are included in the interest rate risk exposure: the sensitivity of these liabilities considers the impact of inflation, more specifically the correlation (co-movement) between the changes in inflation and interest rates.  Instrument-specific interest rate floors (mainly the zero-rate floor on loans) and automatic options (mainly callable option on some bonds and swaps) are taken into account. Refer to the Option risk sub-section for more details on the IRRBB’s Option risk.  Currencies other than the reporting currency are converted to the reporting currency at the ECB spot FX rate on the reference date. Positive changes are weighted by a factor of 50% or a factor of 80% in the case of Exchange Rate Mechanism - ERM II.  The key assumptions with regard to net interest income sensitivity are:  One year time horizon: the sensitivity is measured over a 12-month horizon period.  Constant balance sheet: the total balance sheet size and composition, including on- and off-balance sheet items, are maintained by replacing maturing cash flows with new instruments that have comparable features with regard to the currency, amount and repricing period of the original instruments.  Commercial margins are included in the projection of net interest income and maturing transactions are rolled with margins reflecting current market conditions.  Where applicable, instrument-specific floors (most specifically, the zero-rate floor on loans) are taken into account. 

 Interest rate and credit spread risk in the banking book | 111  Currencies other than the reporting currency are converted to the reporting currency at the ECB spot FX rate on the reference date. Positive changes are weighted by a factor of 50% or a factor of 80% in the case of Exchange Rate Mechanism - ERM II.  11.1.2 Basis risk  Basis risk is the risk arising from the impact of relative changes in interest rates on interest rate-sensitive instruments that have similar tenors but are priced using different interest rate indices. Basis risk arises from the imperfect correlation in the adjustment of the rates earned and paid on different interest rate-sensitive instruments with otherwise similar rate change characteristics.  The Bank has identified three main types of basis risks to which it is exposed: 1) Cross-currency basis risk (CCBR);  2) Tenor basis risk (TBR) and 3) Funding spread risk (FSR).  Cross-Currency Basis Risk (CCBR)  Cross-currency basis risk is the risk due to currency mismatches (in terms of volume and/or maturity) between the Bank’s funding and lending activities. The cross-currency basis indicates the amount by which the interest paid to borrow one currency by swapping it against another differs from the cost of directly borrowing this currency in the cash market.  Management, monitoring and reporting of CCBR  The Bank measures, manages and reports CCBR for its major currencies82 in terms of BPV sensitivity and stress scenarios:  CCBR BPV sensitivity: measures the change in the NPV of interest rate-sensitive instruments/portfolios due to a 1 basis point increase in the CCY/EUR basis spread. The EIB’s operational CCBR exposure by maturity ranges and currency is monitored and managed on a daily basis, within pre-approved limits, by the Treasury (first LoD) and reported to the ALM division in GR&C-RM (second LoD). The ALM division in GR&C-RM monitors that the exposure stays within the pre-approved limits in the context of the operational ALM activities and validating the CCBR exposure on a weekly basis. The Bank applies a portfolio-based management approach for CCBR. Hedging of the CCBR is usually done by means of entering into cross- currency swaps, which are financial products that swap principal and interest payments in two different currencies, allowing for the transformation of the exposure on one currency into the swapped one.  Stress scenarios: the Bank performs CCBR stress tests on a monthly basis to understand their impact on the EVE. It considers the following internally developed stress scenarios for each CCY in scope:  parallel monthly and annual shifts;  monthly and annual per tenor shifts;  historical extremes with shocks being determined dynamically at tenor level.  The Bank also perfoms CCBR stress tests on the net interest income on a quarterly basis. The scenario used is the same as for the EVE “historical extremes with shocks being determined dynamically at tenor level”.  Ad-hoc analyses are performed in order to assess the impact on the CCBR exposures arising from new products and structures, or from new market developments.  Tenor Basis Risk (TBR)  The Bank’s exposure to TBR arises from floating rate instruments priced with different interest rate indices. This exposure is originated from all main asset and liability classes present in the Bank’s balance sheet: lending (assets), funding (liabilities), hedging (derivatives) and treasury (securities). The activity on both sides of the balance sheet might be asymmetrical in terms of underlying interest rate indices, leading to mismatches and therefore exposing the Bank to the volatility of the spread between different indices.  82  The residual exposure from minor currencies is currently not material and thus outside the scope of the CCBR. Moreover, those lending operations are normally in a “synthetic format”, that is, denominated in local currency, but settled in hard currency (usually EUR or USD). However, and outside the CCBR framework, that exposure is monitored regularly to ensure it remains immaterial from an IRRBB perspective. 

 112 | December 2023 EIB Group Risk Management Disclosure Report  Management, monitoring and reporting of TBR  The EIB measures, manages and reports TBR in terms of BPV sensitivity and stress scenarios:  TBR BPV sensitivity: the change in the NPV of interest rate-sensitive instruments/portfolios due to a 1 basis point increase in the tenor basis spread, measured as the spread between the different local indices swap curves (for example, Euribor 3-month swap curve vs. Euribor 6-month swap curve). The EIB’s operational TBR exposure by maturity ranges and currency is monitored and managed on a daily basis, within pre- approved limits, by the Treasury (first LoD) and reported to the ALM division in GR&C-RM (second LoD). The ALM division in GR&C-RM monitors that the exposure stays within the pre-approved limits in the context of the operational ALM activities and validates the TBR exposure on a weekly basis. The EIB applies a portfolio- based management approach for TBR. Hedging of TBR is usually done by means of entering into tenor basis swaps, which are financial products that exchange one floating index for another.  Stress scenarios: the Bank performs TBR stress tests on a monthly basis to assess the impact on its EVE. It considers the following internally developed stress scenarios:  parallel monthly and annual shifts;  monthly and annual per tenor shifts;  historical extremes with shocks being determined dynamically at tenor level.  The Bank also perfoms TBR stress tests on the net interest income on a quarterly basis. The scenario used is the same as for the EVE “historical extremes with shocks being determined dynamically at tenor level”.  Ad-hoc analyses are performed in order to assess the impact on the interest rate risk exposures arising from new products and structures, or from new market developments.  Funding Spread Risk (FSR)  Funding spread risk refers to the risk to the economic value or to the net interest income arising from movements in the funding spread of the Bank.  Funding spread risk may arise due to the divergence between the funding rate of the EIB (the market reference rate plus the funding margin/spread) and the market reference rate itself83. This relationship may not be stable over time, that is, the funding margin might increase or decrease. The EIB’s exposure to funding spread risk originates from its core activities (lending and funding) and primarily stems from financing maturity mismatches between its assets and liabilities.  Management, monitoring and reporting of FSR  The Bank’s current interest rate risk and funding strategies do not incorporate any formal requirement or limit with regard to the management of the funding spread risk. Being derived from the evolution of the Bank’s own credit quality, the risk cannot be directly hedged with third parties.  The funding spread risk is mitigated by setting on a semi-annual basis a target funding maturity profile that keeps the maturity transformation between new lending and funding (and the future refinancing risk) under control. Another mitigant comes from the loan rate setting policy which ensures the transfer of the Bank’s funding spreads to its borrowers.  The Bank performs a Funding Spread Risk stress test, assuming an adverse scenario of an increasing Bank’s funding spread, due to a rating downgrade of three notches.  11.1.3 Option risk  Option risk is defined as the risk arising from options (embedded and explicit), where the institution or its customer can alter the level and timing of their cash flows, namely the risk arising from interest rate-sensitive instruments where the holders will almost certainly exercise the option if it is in their financial interest to do so (embedded or explicit automatic options) and the risk arising from flexibility embedded implicitly or within the terms of interest rate-sensitive instruments, such that changes in interest rates may affect a change in the behaviour of the client (embedded behavioural option risk).  83  See BCBS 368. 

 Interest rate and credit spread risk in the banking book | 113  Option risk can be broken down into two distinct sub-types:  Automatic option risk: it arises from standalone instruments, such as option contracts (caps, floors, etc.), or is explicitly embedded within the contractual terms of a financial instrument (a capped or floored rate loan).  Behavioural option risk: it arises from the flexibility embedded implicitly or within the terms of financial contracts. For instance, changes in interest rates may affect a change in the behaviour of the client (such as the right to prepay a loan or to withdraw a deposit84).  The Bank performs Option risk stress tests on a monthly basis to assess its impact on the EVE and NII as a consequence of shocks on the interest rate curves and interest rate volatilities.  11.2 Credit Spread Risk in the Banking Book (CSRBB)  From a Group perspective, credit spread risk is defined as the risk to the Economic Value of Equity/Own Funds (EVE) or to the Net Interest Income (NII) arising from adverse movements in market price for credit risk, for liquidity and for potentially other characteristics of credit-risky instruments, which is not captured by another existing prudential framework such as IRRBB or by expected credit/(jump-to-) default risk.  Scope  At the Group, the scope of credit spread-sensitive instruments includes all assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet items in the non-trading book, excluding assets deducted from CET1 capital. The Treasury bonds portfolios85, asset backed securities (ABS) and pension liabilities fall within the CSRBB scope. The Treasury bonds portfolios contain a variety of corporate and sovereign bonds that span a large spectrum of different ratings. The ABS portfolio contains a variety of asset-backed securities as well as covered bonds. Similarly to the Treasury bonds portfolio, they are characterised by a large spectrum of different credit ratings. The pension liability (DBO) is included, due to the fact that in accordance with actuarial and accounting standards, the projected cashflows are discounted with a rate referencing market yields on “high-quality corporate bonds”, more specifically the yield on a EUR AA-rated corporate index.  Governance: Risk Management, monitoring and reporting at EIB Group  Rating-based limits already exist for credit risk management in the Treasury and ABS portfolios, thus providing a natural risk mitigating factor. The Group performs internally calibrated CSRBB stress tests to assess the impact on the EVE and NII. The CSRBB is monitored on a monthly basis and reported quarterly (EVE and NII impact) in the EIB Group Risk Report. There are no dedicated CSRBB limits in place. However, this risk is internally capitalised.  84  85  Unlike many commercial institutions, the Bank does not have exposure to non-maturing deposits. Money market instruments are deemed to be insensitive to moves in the market price of credit. 

 114 | December 2023 EIB Group Risk Management Disclosure Report  12 Operational risk  Operational risk means the risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems or from external events 86. In line with regulatory guidance 87 and the EIB Group’s internal non-financial risk classification, operational risk covers the following risk sub-categories:  Table 5: Overview of EIB Group’s Operational Risk Types Level 2  Operational Risk Types Level 2  People  Technology  Third Party  Fraud  Conduct  Information Security (including Cyber)  Physical Security and Safety  Legal  Statutory Reporting and Tax  Business Continuity  Financial Crime  Data Management  Transaction Processing and Execution  Regulatory Compliance  Model  Together with climate and environmental, reputational and strategic risks, operational risk is one of the main constituents of non-financial risk. All EIB Group activities may be affected by operational risk and therefore the Group aims to systematically identify, assess, monitor and report operational risks on a regular basis, and ensure that sufficient controls and risk mitigants are in place to limit the exposure to the risk.  While the management of day-to-day operational risk exposure is, as a matter of principle, the responsibility of everyone in all Group entities, the definition of general standards and the implementation of an integrated Operational Risk Management Framework shall be coordinated by dedicated and independent88 Operational Risk Management function(s) within the EIB and the EIF:  At the EIB, the Operational Risk mandate and its implementation is under the responsibility of the Operational Risk function, within the Non-Financial Risk Department of the Office of the Group Chief Compliance Officer (“GR&C-OCCO”).  At the EIF, the Operational Risk mandate and its implementation is fulfilled by the Operational Risk Management function, within the Corporate Risk Division.  The EIB Group Operational Risk Policy is a key component of the Operational Risk Management Framework (“ORMF”). The purpose of the policy is to define the objectives, general principles and framework components to be applied in the Operational Risk Management functions in the EIB Group. The high-level EIB Group document is further complemented by the EIB Group Event Reporting Procedure and other more granular process guidelines and procedures developed separately for the EIB and the EIF.  EIB Group’s Operational Risk Management Framework  The EIB Group Operational Risk Management Framework (ORMF), described in the EIB Group Operational Risk Policy, covers four main components: Governance, Operational Risk Appetite, Risk Management Process and Capital Management.  Governance  In line with BBP Guiding Principles, the management of operational risks operates within the three lines of defence model. The business lines as the first LoD take risks and are responsible for the day-to-day management of such risks directly and on a permanent basis. The Operational Risk function (within the GR&C-OCCO Directorate) as the second LoD is responsible for the implementation of the sound ORMF. The independent Internal Audit as the third LoD provides assurance to the relevant governing bodies of the appropriateness and  86  87  88  The definition of external events excludes cases of client bankruptcy or unfavourable market movements or similar events, which represent triggers for credit and market risk, respectively.  In line with Basel III’s definition of Operational Risk as detailed in “Revisions to the Principles for the Sound Management of Operational Risk” of March 2021 and the EBA’s definition of Operational Risk published on the EBA website.  In line with the EBA’s Guidelines on Internal Governance and BCBS’s Principles for Sound Operational Risk Management, independence  refers to the Operational Risk function having a reporting structure independent of the risk-generating business lines and being responsible for the design, maintenance and ongoing development of the operational risk framework. 

 Operational risk | 115  efficient implementation of the ORMF. Its responsibilities include independently verifying that the ORMF has been adequately designed and implemented by both the first and second lines of defence.  Operational risk appetite  The EIB Group strives to minimise the risk of losses related to operational failure through the establishment and development of a strong ORMF to provide a systematic and integrated approach to the management of operational risk. However, recognising that expected and unexpected losses can occur, the Group defines a certain level of risk appetite and a set of monitoring tools and processes, which together define the Risk Appetite Framework for operational risk.  In addition, both the EIB and the EIF put policies, procedures and systems in place in order to minimise operational risk losses and remain within the operational risk appetite levels. The EIB Group’s risk appetite for operational risk is articulated in the Group Risk Appetite Statement document, which communicates to management, the governing bodies of all Group entities, employees and other key stakeholders the risk profile the Group is willing to assume in the pursuit of its activities.  Risk management process  The ORMF and its implementation are supported by a set of processes and tools, namely:  Risk identification  Risk identification is the process whereby operational risks are recognised and classified in line with the EIB Group’s risk classification and where the risk sources in all business activities and risk drivers (employees, process failure, external, systems) are linked to operational risk events and to their consequences.  All identified risks have an agreed risk owner at the business level who is responsible for assessing, monitoring and managing the risk. All identified risks are categorised in line with the Group’s risk classification and documented accordingly.  The risk identification process within the EIB Group is backed by a set of activities, among which the most prominent being:  Risk and control identification and assessment, as part of the Internal Control Framework89;  Group Compliance risk assessment90;  Root cause analysis and back-testing of operational risk events;  Scenario analysis;  Analysis of new products carried out by the New Product Committee (“NPC”);  Annual risk identification process, across all risk types.  Risk assessment  Risk assessment is used to assess and quantify the EIB Group’s operational risks and to ensure that the appropriate means and resources can be identified and allocated to the management of these risks. Risk assessment also serves to determine the appropriate capital requirements for operational risk.  The objectives of the risk assessment process in the EIB Group can be summarised as follows:  To provide detailed and updated information on operational risk in relation to the key business processes of the Group;  To provide senior management with an overall picture of the Group's operational risk exposure and risk/control framework;  To align the Group’s operational risk profile to its operational risk appetite;  To align the Group’s operational risk management to BBP and best market practices.  A key component of the operational risk assessment within the Group is the risk and control assessment91, the process managed by the Internal Controls and Assertion division within the Financial Control Directorate together  89  90  91  Process owned and managed by the Internal Controls and Assertion division within the Financial Control Directorate in the EIB, and the Compliance function within the EIF’s Risk Management Department.  Process owned and managed by GR&C-OCCO.  Other risk assessments with focus on specific operational risk types (Compliance, Fraud, Information Security and others) are conducted across the Group by dedicated functions which manage these risk types. 

 116 | December 2023 EIB Group Risk Management Disclosure Report  with other relevant second lines within the EIB, and the internal control function at the EIF governed by the EIB Group Internal Control Framework Policy.  The EIB Internal Control Framework (‘ICF’) materialises the regular actions implemented by the Bank’s management to (i) identify risks generated by activities under their responsibility (inherent and residual risks),  (ii) design adequate controls to cover these, and (iii) be in a position to report thereon. The ICF covers all processes implemented in the Bank. On that basis, the Bank’s senior management issues yearly internal control assurance declarations to the EIB President and the AC. The ICF’s definition, review and maintenance are administered in line with the EIB Group ICF Policy approved by the Board of Directors. ICF policy oversight actions are implemented by the ICF Control function (‘ICFC’), which is the second line of defence function.  Similarly to the EIB, the EIF has implemented several processes to manage and monitor operational risks, including the EIF Risk and Control Matrix. The Risk Control Matrix identifies the main risks for the EIF inherent to each process or activity, including: a rating of the inherent risk (gross risk), the existing key controls mitigating that risk, and a rating of the residual risk (net risk). For each identified risk, the rating of the inherent risk is based on:  its potential financial and reputational impact; and  its estimated likelihood, based on the frequency of the underlying process and the intrinsic complexity/instability of the assessed process.  Another important component of the risk assessment process is the qualitative and quantitative assessment of forward-looking operational risk scenarios.  Risk mitigation  Risk mitigation activities are designed and implemented in the EIB Group to address and control risks. Risks that cannot be controlled adequately by the Group are addressed to senior management/governing bodies in order to establish whether to accept or to withdraw from the activities generating these risks.  Risk mitigation activities are an integral part of the regular activities of the Group and involve all organisational and hierarchical levels in order to be effective. Effective mitigation includes processes on the basis of the following:  The EIB Group rules, codes and policies;  Segregation of duties between the three lines of defence;  New product approval process;  Sound Internal Control Framework;  Risk identification and assessment processes such as the Compliance Risk Assessment;  Risk and controls assessment and monitoring processes such as the Risk Appetite Framework (RAF) and the Compliance Monitoring Programme (CMP);  Independent risk management and compliance functions;  Accounting, record-keeping, valuation, safeguarding and information systems controls;  Independent internal and external audit functions;  Insurance policies.  The Group has policies, guidelines and procedures to control and mitigate operational risk. The Group assesses the costs and benefits of alternative risk limitation and control strategies and adjusts its operational risk exposure accordingly and in line with its risk appetite. As part of the risk mitigation process, the Operational Risk Management function ensures the close monitoring of mitigation actions stemming from Operational Risk Events.  Risk monitoring and reporting  Operational risk monitoring involves all services of the EIB Group:  Services undertake a regular review of their risk profile in line with a defined level of risk and a related risk review schedule.  (Key) Risk Indicators, as defined by the services in collaboration with the Operational Risk Management function, are used to monitor on a regular basis the non-financial risk exposures with respect to their related risk appetite, with appropriate actions taken when risk levels are breached. 

 Operational risk | 117  Operational Risk Events are reported by the services and collected, reviewed and analysed on a regular basis by the Operational Risk Management function in order to identify the actual exposure to operational risk. This should ensure that root causes are understood, and that any lessons learned from Operational Risk Events are used to improve the controls. All issues and actions relating to operational risk events and out-of- appetite operational risks are tracked and monitored by the Operational Risk Management function on a regular basis to ensure timely remediation.  The EIB’s Operational Risk function has established a comprehensive Group operational risk reporting framework. Critical operational risk events, key risk indicators, and operational risk capital are reported in the EIB Group Risk Report. The EIB Group also produces a quarterly Operational Risk Report, which includes statistics on operational risk events, root causes trends, mitigating actions and End User Computing tools compliance.  The EIB’s risk control self-assessment and control testing results are reported to the senior management and the AC by the ICF Control function.  The EIF's Compliance function produces the ICF report and coordinates the ISAE-3402 report (assessment of key controls-related mandate activities), as well as specific contributions to broader reports as relevant.  The following sections provide further details on some categories of operational risk at the EIBG.  Information security (including cyber)  ICT risk is defined as the risk of loss due to the inappropriateness or unavailability of systems and data or the inability to change information technology (IT) within a reasonable time and at reasonable cost when the environment or business requirements change (agility). This includes risks resulting from inadequate or failed internal systems. Security risk is the risk of incurring losses due to a breach of confidentiality, loss of integrity or unavailability of systems and data due to information security incidents. This includes risks resulting from external events including cyber-attacks or inadequate physical security.  ICT risk and data security are considered to be among the top operational risks in the industry. In response to the increasing complexity and intensity of external threats, and in view of the reliance of the Group’s operations on information technology, the Group is constantly reinforcing both its technical defences (IT Security) and procedural and people capabilities (Information Security), and will continue to do so in line with best banking practice. On the Information Security side, the Group is focused on increasing user awareness of ICT threats and is addressing this need through various events, communication campaigns, risk assessments and training programmes. The EIB’s IT Security function as a first line of defence is responsible for deploying technical and operating measures to protect the security of computer systems, networks and other technology assets hosted on the EIB Group premises.  Information Security acts as a second line of defence and provides oversight of activities performed by the first line of defence, cyber security awareness training and various critical compliance tasks (SWIFT Customer Security Programme and TARGET2). To protect information consistently, an information classification scheme is in place, and users are informed of associated best practices with regard to data leakage, prevention of malware and general sound information management. This scheme enables the Group to embed good information handling/processing processes in all that it does so that it is clear to everyone with access to know how best to protect it from unauthorised disclosure, alteration or destruction, dissemination or loss.  These security efforts are intended to protect against attacks by unauthorised parties to obtain access to confidential information, destroy data, disrupt service, sabotage systems or cause other damage.  The Group continues to enhance its cyberdefence capabilities and strengthen its partnerships with the appropriate agencies, such as CERT-EU, in order to address the full spectrum of ICT security risks in its operating environment, enhance defences and improve resiliency against these threats. Third parties with which the Group does business or that facilitate the Group’s business activities could also be sources of ICT risk to the Group. Third-party ICT risk incidents such as system breakdowns or failures, misconduct by the employees of such parties, or attacks could affect their ability to deliver a product or service to the Bank or result in lost or compromised information. To protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the Group’s infrastructure, resources and information, the Group ensures that risks are identified and managed.  Regulation EU 2018/1725 (repealing Regulation (EC) No 45/2001 and Decision No 1247/2002/EC) of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 October 2018 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data by the European Union’s institutions, bodies, offices and agencies, and on the free movement of such data, has now been in force since autumn 2018. The designated Data Protection Officers 

 118 | December 2023 EIB Group Risk Management Disclosure Report  (‘DPO’) at both the EIB and the EIF ensure that the responsible controllers and processors of personal data are informed about their responsibilities and duties, and provide advice to the organisation and to staff members on all matters related to the implementation of the Regulation. The DPOs also act as the contact point of the EIB and the EIF with the European Data Protection Supervisor (‘EDPS’).  Model risk  Model risk refers to the potential loss an institution may incur as a consequence of decisions that could be principally based on the output of internal models, due to errors in the development, implementation or use of such models. Model risk can stem from all models used in the EIB Group.  The relevant responsibilities, the process and the guiding principles to be followed as well as the documentation to be produced in order to minimise the model risk are currently governed by the EIB Group Model Risk Management Policy, the EIB’s model validation policy and the EIF’s Model Management Governance Framework, respectively.  The Group Model Risk Management Policy delegates oversight on model risk management across the EIB Group to a Model Risk Committee (MRC), chaired by the GCRO. The policy establishes a Model Risk Management (MRM) function, responsible for the roll-out, maintenance and ongoing day-to-day activities of the model risk management framework.  Models are part of an Inventory of Models, maintained by the Model Validation function exercised by the EIB Group Model Validation division within GR&C. Model validation refers to the set of processes and activities intended to minimise model risk by verifying that the models are performing as expected, in line with their objectives and business uses.  As in other areas of risk, the Group follows the three lines of defence approach in model risk management. Accordingly, the first line of defence responsibility is assigned to the model owner. The model owner is defined as the unit(s) responsible for development, operation and maintenance of the model/estimate under consideration. The owner(s) of each model is/(are) identified in the Inventory of Models.  The second line of defence role is fulfilled by the GR&C Model Validation function, which acts as a control and advisory function via independent assessment of the models, estimates and related processes developed by other units within the EIB Group. To achieve its goals, GR&C Model Validation follows the appropriate validation methodologies and the validation process. It is also responsible for producing detailed methodological guidelines for the validation of individual models.  Lastly, Internal Audit intervenes as the third line of defence in model risk management and bears the responsibility for assessing whether the first and second lines of defence can fulfil their roles adequately.  Credit risk models, and other models in the area of liquidity, interest rate risk, ALM and derivatives together with their processes, data and IT implementation, are subject to regular validation in line with the model validation policy.  Validation activities of models are overseen by specific committees (IRMMC, ALCO and DSMC respectively) or the MRC. The Bank has implemented a tiering methodology for the allocation of models to different tiers based on their use and materiality. While the Tier 1 models (and model changes) are approved by a corresponding committee, the other models (Tier 2 and Tier 3) need to be approved by the Director(s) of the directorates that were identified as model stakeholders.  Regulatory compliance, financial crime and conduct risks  Compliance risk is managed by independent functions under the responsibility of the EIB Group Chief Compliance Officer (GCCO) and the EIF Heads of Compliance. While the GCRO oversees compliance at the EIB Group level, both functions have direct access to their respective relevant governing bodies. The GCCO has responsibility for all non-financial risks within the remit of the GCRO, overseeing non-financial risks at Group level in consultation with the EIF and under the oversight of the GCRO. 

 Operational risk | 119  The independent Compliance functions are responsible for the ongoing monitoring and oversight of:  Regulatory compliance risk: the risk of legal or regulatory sanctions, financial loss, or loss to reputation a member of the EIB Group may suffer as a result of his/her failure to comply with all applicable laws, regulations, staff codes of conduct and standards of good practice92;  Conduct risk: the current or prospective risk of financial loss, or loss to reputation of the EIB Group arising from cases of misconduct or inadequate rules on ethics and integrity other than prohibited conduct of a member of the EIBG.  Financial crime risk: Risk arising from money laundering and terrorism financing, sanctions violation, breach of NCJ (non-cooperative jurisdictions) policy.  In order to identify, assess, monitor, control, mitigate and report these non-financial risks, a number of policies, procedures and/or initiatives are in place at Group level, including:  Group Compliance Risk Assessment (annual exercise) and for the EIB the Compliance Monitoring Programme (CMP) with an annual CMP review plan;  Integrity Policy and Compliance Charter;  EIB Group Staff Code of Conduct;  EIB Group Whistleblowing Policy;  EIB Group Data Protection Policy;  EIB Group Anti-Fraud Policy;  EIB Group Dignity at Work Policy;  EIB Group Staff Conflicts of Interest Policy;  EIB Management Committee and EIF CE/DCE Code of Conduct;  Code of Conduct for the members of the Board of Directors of the EIB/EIF;  Code of Conduct for the members of the Audit Committee of the EIB/Audit Board of the EIF;  Staff Regulations;  Staff Rules;  EIB Group AML-CFT Policy;  EIB Group policy towards weakly regulated, non-transparent and non-cooperative jurisdictions and tax good governance;  EIB Group Market Abuse Policy;  EIB Group Sanctions Compliance Policy;  Internal procedures of the Compliance function that are leverage ratio-related.  Anti-money laundering and combating the financing of terrorism risks are reported on a regular basis to the MC, the AC and the EIB Board Working Group on tax and compliance. Cases of suspected money laundering and financing of terrorism are reported by each of the EIB and the EIF to the Luxembourg financial intelligence unit.  The EIB Group Compliance Activity Report provides further details on the topics above and is available on the Bank’s website.  Fraud risk  Fraud risk is the current or prospective risk of losses to the EIBG arising from cases of fraud or other prohibited conduct.  Senior Management of the EIBG’s entities are responsible for promoting high ethical and integrity standards, as well as a strong internal control culture within the organisation. Banking governance standards and regulations recognise that all members/levels of an organisation are responsible for risk mitigation and internal control. Senior Management is responsible for establishing policies, procedures and controls to mitigate risks related to their business activities within an agreed risk appetite. This is reflected through the implementation of strategies, policies, procedures and controls which support the necessary steps to identify, measure, monitor and control risks.  The EIB Group Anti-Fraud Policy (AFP) sets forth the policy in preventing and deterring fraud and other prohibited conduct in the Group’s activities and applies to all members of governing bodies and staff. The AFP assigns a key role in addressing fraud and other forms of prohibited conduct to the Inspectorate General, Investigations  92  The EIB Compliance function (GR&C-OCCO) oversees, among others, the EIB’s compliance with various regulations which apply to the financial sector. 

 120 | December 2023 EIB Group Risk Management Disclosure Report  division (IG/IN), which not only has the sole mandate to investigate, but also a significant role in the prevention and detection of fraud, including the assessment of fraud risk and its deterrence. As per the EIB Group Operational Risk Policy, fraud risk assessments are conducted across the Group by IG, which manages this operational risk type on an autonomous basis.  All Group staff have the duty to report any suspicion of fraud promptly to IG/IN for assessment. Allegations concerning money laundering and financing of terrorism are investigated by IG/IN in close cooperation with EIB OCCO/EIF Compliance.  Fraud investigations conducted by IG/IN are reported on a quarterly basis to the MC, the EIF Chief Executive, the AC and the Audit Board of, respectively, the EIB and the EIF, the European Public Prosecutor’s Office (EPPO) and the European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF). The Group issues an annual report on its anti-fraud activities, which is available on its website.  Operational risk capital requirements measurement  Based on the Regulation, all existing approaches for the calculation of the own funds requirements for operational risks will be replaced by a single, non-model-based approach to be used by all institutions. Therefore, the use of models to determine own funds requirements for operational risk, such as those developed under the Advanced Measurement Approach (AMA), will no longer be possible once CRRIII/CRD VI enters into force . Since 2019, the EIB Group has decided to adopt early the standardised approach (‘SA’) as determined by the final Basel III standards to replace the Advanced Measurement Approach93. Operational risk RWEA are calculated annually, as per market practice, based on the EIBG’s audited consolidated financial statements. The SA includes three main components further detailed in templates OR1 to OR3 below:  the Business Indicator (BI) which is a financial statements-based proxy for operational risk and comprises three components: the interest, leases and dividend component (ILDC); the services component (SC), and the financial component (FC);  the Business Indicator Component (BIC), which is calculated by multiplying the BI by a set of regulatory determined marginal coefficients; and the Internal Loss Multiplier (ILM) 94, which is set to 1 as a default value.  93  94  Following the publication of the “Basel III: Finalising post crisis reforms” in December 2017, the standardised approach replaced all approaches used to calculate operational risk RWEA existing in the Basel II framework as from January 2023. The standardised approach to Operational Risk is intended to be implemented in the European Union from January 2025 with the entry into force of new amendments to the CRR.  As part of the endorsement of the new CRR III/CRD VI regulation (proposal endorsed in December 2023 by the ECOFIN - 2021/0342 (COD)), the EU co-legislators have opted to make use of one of the discretions granted to enforcing jurisdictions by setting this indicator  at 1 and, therefore, disregarding historical losses for the calculation of operational risk capital (justified by the need to ensure a level playing field and simplify the calculation). EIBG has pre-adopted this approach in the 2023 operational risk capital calculation.

 Other risks | 123  Other risks  Pension and health insurance risks  Pension and health insurance risks are defined as the risks of losses due to the volatility of the Group’s pension and health insurance Defined Benefits Obligations (DBO). The EIB and EIF pension schemes are defined benefit schemes financed by contributions from staff and the EIB/EIF. Their characteristics are presented in Notes A 2.11 and L of the EIB Group consolidated financial statements under EU-AD.  The Group does not have segregated pension assets, it is therefore not exposed to pension fund investment risk and does not have to deduct any (net) pension assets from its own funds as provided for by Article 41 of the CRR. Pension and health insurance risks stem primarily from a potential increase of the Group’s DBO under adverse conditions.  Management, monitoring and reporting  At the EIB’s level, the pensions are managed according to the EIB’s Pension Scheme Regulations while the Health Insurance Scheme is managed according to the EIB’s Staff Rules. Corresponding procedures exist as well at EIF level.  Both the EIB and the EIF have Pension Boards, which provide oversight of the pension schemes and are responsible for implementing the provisions governing the schemes. The Pension Boards also ensure consistent and systematic adherence to actuarial principles. The Pension Boards also issue an annual report setting out the main developments in the EIB’s and the EIF’s pension schemes, along with a summary of the work carried out by the Boards and an update of key financial and actuarial data. The EIB and EIF Pensions Boards receive an annual report from the external actuary on the status of the pension scheme which includes a sensitivity analysis of the main factors impacting pensions, namely discount rate changes, increases in salary, inflation and life expectancy. The results of the risk sensitivity analysis performed by the external actuary are provided in Note J of the consolidated financial statements under IFRS.  The EIB’s and the EIF’s Health Insurance Schemes are administered with a view to balancing benefits and contributions. The Health Insurance Scheme Committee examines the financial situation of the Health Insurance Scheme each year and draws up a report that is submitted to the MC. An actuarial valuation of the Health Insurance Scheme obligations is performed once a year.  The EIB’s and the EIF’s exposure to actuarial risks is appraised in line with the respective accounting standards, which value the accrued benefits, by reference to their projected amount at the date of payment. Contribution levels of the pension schemes are reviewed periodically to reflect the evolution of actuarial parameters (interest rate, inflation, longevity, salary increase, etc.) and minimise the risk of future deficits.  The interest rate risk arising from the EIB’s pension and health insurance obligations is managed within the EIB’s overall interest rate exposure as those long-term obligations form an integral part of the liabilities of the EIB’s balance sheet. The EIF does not actively manage the interest rate exposure arising from its pension and health insurance obligations.  The EIB Group internally capitalises the interest rate risk related to pension and health insurance liabilities for EIB and EIF at a standalone as well as at a consolidated level. Although other actuarial risks (such as salary increase, longevity and healthcare cost) and inflation risk are not hedged for both the EIB and the EIF, those risks are also internally capitalised by both the EIB and the EIF.  Reputational and strategic risks  Reputational risk is the risk that arises from negative perception on the part of customers, counterparties, shareholders, investors, debt holders, market analysts, and other relevant parties, bodies or institutions that can adversely affect an institution’s ability to maintain existing, or establish new, business relationships and continued access to sources of funding. 

 124 | December 2023 EIB Group Risk Management Disclosure Report  The risk is monitored as part of the non-financial risk indicators under the Group’s Risk Appetite Framework.Strategic risk is the risk that a sub-optimal contribution to achieve the EIB Group’s policy mission supporting EU policy objectives could through decreasing shareholder or stakeholder support, indirectly affect the long-term financial sustainability of the EIB or the EIF. Strategic risk could be affected by inadequate strategic decisions, a failure to execute strategy or a lack of effective response to changes in the economic, political and business environment.  Despite being policy-driven institutions (EU policy and policy goals), both the EIB and the EIF are exposed to strategic risk. The EIB’s strategy implementation is manifested through its EIB Group Operational Plan, whose elaboration process is based on close interaction between the Group Strategy Department and all relevant services.  13.3 Climate, environmental and social risk  The EIBG has made sustainability, in its climate, environmental and social dimensions, one of its key goals and priorities. On the climate side, the Climate Strategy guides the EIB’s medium to long-term actions within and outside the European Union to support the objectives of the EU in the fight against climate change and define where the Bank shall focus its actions.  The EIBG Environmental and Social Sustainability Framework lays out the Group’s vision up to 2030 towards achieving sustainable development, inclusive growth and the respect of human rights.  EIBG Climate Bank Roadmap  The Climate Bank Roadmap (CBR) published in 2020 outlines in further detail how the Group plans to deliver its ambition to support a just transition to low-emission, climate-resilient and environmentally sustainable development.  The CBR is organised along four different workstreams.  The first workstream concerns the level of support provided by the EIBG to accelerate the green transition. The EIBG aims to support EUR 1 trillion of investment in Climate Action and Environmental Sustainability (CA&ES; as per the EIBG’s internal terminology). Another objective is to raise the share of the EIB’s annual financing dedicated to CA&ES to exceed 50% by 2025 and beyond. The climate adaptation target was established in a dedicated Climate Adaptation Plan, published at the end of 2021, to strengthen investment and technical support to protect projects from the impact of more extreme weather and increase the climate resilience of existing and new infrastructure.  As a second workstream, the Group wants to ensure that no people or places are left behind in the transition to low-emission and climate-resilient society. In 2021, the EIBG developed a comprehensive proposal to support the EU’s Just Transition Mechanism leading to the launch of 36 advisory support projects between 2021-2022. Looking more widely at the synergies between green intervention and socio economic development, the EIBG is furthermore constantly seeking to invest in projects that simultaneously support the transition and improve social development and gender equality.  The third workstream is on the implementation of the Bank’s Paris-alignment approach. Important milestones were achieved with the adoption of the Paris alignment low-carbon framework in 2020, and the Paris-Alignment of Counterparties (PATH) Framework in 2021, both of which were later updated as part of the CBR mid term review in 2023 (see below).  The last workstream of the Roadmap is dedicated to the development of a coherent approach to ensure that the Group can deliver on the first three workstreams with appropriate accountability mechanisms. This encompassed, among other things, the publication of a yearly progress report on the CBR.  The EIB Group has in place a well-established tracking system for climate action finance, the EIB Climate Action and Environmental Sustainability (CA&ES) tracking system. Both the related European Investment Bank Climate Action - Eligible sectors and eligibility criteria and the EIF’s criteria for Climate Action and Environmental Sustainability operations are available on the EIB and EIF websites.  The EIB worked together with other multilateral development banks (MDBs) on climate finance tracking methodologies, and jointly reporting on climate finance for over a decade. In 2015, the MDBs together with the 

 Other risks | 125  International Development Finance Club (IDFC)96 - published the Common Principles for tracking climate change mitigation and adaptation finance. This joint MDB-IDFC approach and related definitions are internationally recognised as robust and credible and form the framework for the current EIB climate action definitions.  The EIB Group committed in the CBR to gradually integrate EU Taxonomy criteria into its own tracking system, and has been doing this since 2021.  EIB climate action and environmental sustainability lending figures are publicly disclosed annually in various external and internal EIB reports, and detailed project-level CA&ES data are published annually in the EIB public register. EIB climate action and environmental sustainability data are externally audited each year in the context of the EIB Group Sustainability Report. These exposures correspond to financing activities supporting counterparties in the process of transitioning or adjusting to climate change mitigation, adaptation or environmental sustainability objectives, even if not yet assessed fully for EU Taxonomy alignment.  The Roadmap is not a static document but rather a dynamic operational plan which is intended to evolve over time. As planned, the EIBG published a Mid-Term Review of the CBR at the end of 2023, to take stock of the progress achieved in the first three years and make the necessary adjustments for the rest of the implementation period.  While the Mid-Term Review of the CBR concluded that the EIB Group is on track to deliver on its CBR commitments, it also highlighted the need to further enhance the existing framework in light of the rapidly evolving industry practices and policy environment. For instance, the Mid-Term Review of the CBR reiterated the EIBG’s commitment to continue its gradual integration of the EU Taxonomy into its aforementioned CA&ES tracking methodology, in light of ongoing Taxonomy developments and wider progress on market adoption.  Considerable progress has been made already in this direction however further refinement is expected to enable the EIBG to report, in the future, on the portion of its Taxonomy-aligned financing. The EIBG will therefore continue to use its current system to monitor its advancement towards its Climate Action and Environmental sustainability targets, which are not limited to Taxonomy-aligned finance. The system is expected to be further refined, as the result of its engagement with clients and other stakeholders on taxonomy implementation, and to address further regulatory developments with a view to enabling the Group to report a portion of its finance as Taxonomy aligned. It is expected that the Group will increase this portion of Taxonomy-aligned finance over time, reflecting wider progress on market adoption of the EU Taxonomy.  Governance  In line with the objectives put forward by the EIB Climate Strategy and EIBG Climate Bank Roadmap, Climate Action and Environmental Sustainability objectives are increasingly integrated throughout the Group’s governance framework.  In 2021, the EIBG created the Climate and Environment Advisory Council to provide independent advice and expertise on the activities that the Group is carrying out to reach its Climate Action and Environmental Sustainability ambitions. The oversight of the implementation of the Climate Bank Roadmap is performed by the Climate and Environmental Steering Committee (C&E Steering Committee), which meets every quarter and is composed of the Bank’s Directors General and the EIF’s Chief Executive and Deputy Chief Executive and chaired by a member of the MC.  In addition, a Climate and Environment Coordination Committee brings together all relevant EIB Group Services to ensure the coordination of various climate and environment-related work streams and to promote knowledge sharing. The committee meets regularly to discuss key topics.  Further details on the climate and environmental governance framework are available in the “Governance” Section of the EIB Group TCFD report.  EIBG targets for 2024  The Management Committee and EIB Board of Directors are responsible for setting the short to medium-term targets related to Climate Action and Environmental Sustainability and the internal carbon footprint of the Group97. In the Operational Plan approved by the BoD on 13 December 2023, the Group aims for new operations  96  97  A group of 26 development finance institutions including KfW and AFD.  The Group is also committed to reducing its internal carbon footprint (scope 1, scope 2 and scope 3 absolute emissions) by approximately 12% by 2025 relative to 2018. 

 126 | December 2023 EIB Group Risk Management Disclosure Report  contributing to Climate Action and Environmental Sustainability (CA&ES) and Economic and Social Cohesion and Convergence to reach respectively around 47% and 43% of 2024 new signature volumes. More information on how the EIBG defines and monitors its short-term operational objectives can be found in the EIBG Operational Plan98.  The short-term targets of the Group are integrated into the remuneration framework of the EIB and the EIF. The two institutions’ performance in terms of new signatures contributing to the CA&ES and Economic and Social Cohesion and Convergence policy goals are linked to the variable component of the EIBG’s staff remuneration.  Policies  The EIBG has several policies and procedures in place to support its sustainability objectives and mitigate associated risks, among which99:  The Environmental and Social Sustainability Framework - which comprises the EIBG Environmental and Social Policy100, the EIB Environmental and Social Standards101 and the EIF’s ESG Principles102 - governs the assessment and management of climate, environmental and social impacts and risks throughout financed operations.  The EIBG low- carbon framework defines in broad terms the activities that the EIB can or cannot support in view of the Group’s interpretation of alignment to the mitigation goals of the Paris Agreement. This list of activities was reviewed in 2023 to incorporate, among other things and where appropriate, the technical screening criteria for ‘do no significant harm to climate change mitigation’ in the Climate Delegated Act.  The EIBG PATH framework, updated in 2023 in the context of the mid-term review of the Climate Bank Roadmap, provides guidelines for supporting the EIBG’s counterparties to transition towards a low- carbon and climate-resilient future.  The EIB sector’s policies further define priorities for EIB support in sectors like transport and energy which need significant investments to contribute positively to the transition towards a low-carbon and climate-resilient economy.  Integration into the risk management framework  From a prudential perspective, the Group considers that climate change and environmental risks may stem from both the negative financial impact of climate change on the Group and the impact of the Group on climate change.  Detailed information on how the EIBG mitigates these two types of risk is provided in the “Risk identification and assessment” section below.  Transmission channels  Climate change may further affect the Group and its activities through different transmission channels and time horizons.  From a financial risk perspective, credit risk is expected to be the risk category most affected by climate change. A distinction is made between transition and physical risks, with transition risks being the risks arising from the transition to a low-carbon, climate-resilient and more environmentally sustainable economy while physical risks are the risks linked to the physical effects of climate change, including more frequent extreme weather events and gradual changes in the climate.  98  99  The EIF sets separate targets for itself which are reflected in the Group’s objectives. Further details can be found in the EIF Operational Plan.  Other relevant policies include the EIB Environmental Framework, the EIB Climate Strategy and the EIB Energy Lending policy.  100 The Policy sets out the Group’s vision towards achieving sustainable development by defining the main areas of contribution and the operational framework for the Group.  101 The Standards outline the responsibilities of counterparties with regard to the assessment of potential environmental, climate and social risk associated with projects financed by the EIB.  102 These Principles summarise the additional policies and procedures applied by the EIF which are specifically tailored to the nature of its activities. 

 Other risks | 127  The impact of climate change on the Group’s market and liquidity risk is deemed relatively low in view of the policies put in place by the Group to mitigate this risk (for example Paris alignment low-carbon framework, PATH framework, climate risk assessment system).  From a non-financial risk perspective, the impact of climate change on the operational risk of the Group is also considered relatively low owing to the limited exposure of the Group’s day-to-day operations to physical climate risk and the active monitoring of the related disruption risk. Climate change can ultimately also weigh on reputational and strategic risks but these risks are similarly assessed and mitigated by the control processes, monitoring tools and other measures put in place by the Group.  More details on the impact of climate change on the activities of the Group are provided in the “Metrics and Targets” section of the EIB Group TCFD report.  Risk identification and assessment  As for other types of risks, the EIBG applies the three lines of defence system to the management of climate- related risks. The Group has implemented several tools and processes across the different lines of defence to identify and monitor these risks.  At the level of projects, the EIB has established a strong sustainability due diligence process to ensure that all activities financed by the EIB are compliant with the relevant policies and overarching objectives of the Bank and are in line with its risk appetite. As part of this process, the Bank conducts an economic appraisal of all new projects to measure the costs and benefits to broader society generated by the project, taking into account the various resources used (human, technological or natural).  Direct lending projects are further subject to a Climate Risk Assessment (CRA) designed to identify and assess the physical climate risk of the project. The goal of the CRA system is to ensure the resilience of EIB-financed operations to climate hazard and identify appropriate adaptation measures.  Projects are also screened during the appraisal process for environmental and social risks using different risk assessment tools and methodologies.  At the EIF, the ESG due diligence is essentially conducted through a dedicated questionnaire and an adverse media screening of counterparties to identify companies potentially associated with an ESG incident. The ESG assessment includes the evaluation of the financial intermediaries’ policies, processes and systems to ensure that they adequately factor in sustainability impacts and risks in their investment decisions. The aim is to evaluate the ESG risk profile of the financial intermediaries, including their reputational risk exposure to ESG issues, at the time of the commitments and during the lifetime of the investments. Other elements of the EIF policy framework also indirectly contribute to identification, assessment and, where required, mitigation of ESG-related risks.  Several tools, policies and procedures are also in place to manage climate and environmental risk according to the three lines of defence model. At counterparty level, climate-risk is monitored for most of the activities of the Group on the basis of the Climate Risk Screening Tool (CRST). The CRST was developed to assess consistently the exposure of EIBG’s counterparties (for the main credit segments of the Group including the EIF’s intermediated equity and guarantee portfolios) to both physical and transition climate risk over the medium to longer term (five to ten years) as well as their mitigation/adaptation capacity. Starting from 2021, all counterparties are scored using the screening tools at the appraisal stage. The scores generated by the CRST are updated on a yearly basis as part of the annual counterparty review process.  The output of the screening tools enables the EIBG to map (by credit segment, geography, credit rating and economic sector) and benchmark all its counterparties according to their climate risk exposure. The tool is used furthermore as a basis for climate risk reporting and sensitivity analyses (see the “Risk Management” and “Strategy” sections of the EIB Group TCFD report for further details).  The EIB replicated internally the ECB climate risk stress test, albeit with some adaptations reflecting the specific nature of the institution. This exercise enabled the EIB to test its capability and capacity to perform supervisory climate stress tests and showed that the Bank’s climate risk framework development is broadly in line with commercial banks. Moreover, in the course of 2023, the Group initiated the development of a dedicated climate risk stress testing framework aimed at establishing climate risk stress testing as part of the Group’s regular stress testing activities.  Both sensitivity analyses and the replication of the ECB climate risk stress test indicated that the EIB Group balance sheet is resilient even to severe climate risk scenarios, with an impact on the Group risk metrics that 

 128 | December 2023 EIB Group Risk Management Disclosure Report  appears to be moderate overall. However, the EIB Group will continue to closely and pro-actively manage climate-related risks in its portfolio as these risks may become material in the longer term if corporations fail to accomplish their climate transition.

 Remuneration | 135  Remuneration  The Group applies the EU regulatory requirements on remuneration policies105 in the financial sector, as BBP and in line with the BBP Guiding Principles, with approved adaptations to reflect the limits set in its Statutes, the non- profit nature and internal governance mechanism of the EIB and the EIF.  The present chapter provides detailed qualitative and quantitative information on the EIB Group’s remuneration policies and practices, as required under Article 450 of the CRR.  EIB Group annual self-assessment  Remuneration policy  In the context of complying with the BBP framework, the EIB has developed internally the “EIB Remuneration Framework”, a policy document that describes and summarises the key principles for a consistent and coherent design, implementation and monitoring of remuneration practices across the organisation as required under the CRD. This document has been approved by the EIB governing bodies and has been published on the EIB’s website in December 2021. The “EIB Remuneration Framework” consolidates and summarises the existing key elements of the EIB’s policies and practices on remuneration. It sets the framework for defining and implementing compensation practices consistently across the EIB. The “EIB Remuneration Framework” and related polices are amended as the need arises following a review and recommendation from the Remuneration Committee.  The EIB’s remuneration framework supports the mission and needs of the organisation and its staff members. It reflects the long-term interests of its shareholders and is aligned with the BBP. The key principles of this framework are applied to the entire Bank and reflected in the remuneration practices for employees in all areas of the Bank’s activity. These key principles are:  Compliance with relevant regulatory requirements as BBP;  Clear governance on remuneration;  Remuneration based on sustainable performance;  Attraction, motivation and retention of talented staff.  The EIF Board of Directors committed to fully align with the EIB’s remuneration framework and, therefore, the relevant policies and procedures are aligned across both institutions. The “EIF Remuneration Framework”, which was approved by the EIF governing bodies and published on the EIF website in 2022, was designed following the approach set out in the EIB’s remuneration framework considering the specificities of the EIF, for instance its business activities, governance and organisational structure.  The EIB’s and EIF’s remuneration frameworks are consistent with and promote sound and effective risk management, and do not encourage risk-taking that exceeds the level of tolerated risk at Group level. They are in line with the business strategy, objectives, values and long-term interests of the Group and incorporate measures to avoid conflicts of interest.  Governance on remuneration  As per the regulatory requirements, all significant institutions must establish risk, nomination and remuneration committees to advise the management body in its supervisory function and to prepare the decisions to be taken by this body. Delegating to committees does not in any way release the management body in its supervisory function from collectively fulfilling its duties and responsibilities.  In line with the BBP framework applicable to the EIB, a Committee on Staff Remuneration and Budget has been established within the Board of Directors. The Committee on Staff Remuneration and Budget discusses proposals and makes recommendations concerning budget and staff remuneration matters in preparation for the  105 CRR, CRD, the EBA Guidelines on sound remuneration policies (EBA/GL/2021/04) and Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/923 of 25 March 2021 supplementing Directive 2013/36/EU with regards to regulatory technical standards setting out the criteria to define managerial responsibility, control functions, material business units and a significant impact on a material business. 

 136 | December 2023 EIB Group Risk Management Disclosure Report  subsequent debates and decisions in the full Board session. The Terms of Reference106 of the Board Committee on Staff Remuneration and Budget are available on the EIB website. The Committee met four times in 2023.  In line with the EIF Board of Directors’ decision to commit to full intra-Group alignment on employment status, an EIF Committee on Staff Remuneration has not been established. Consequently, the EIF Chief Executive retains the responsibility for proposals to the EIF Board of Directors made based on corresponding decisions taken by the EIB Board of Directors.  Identified Staff  The CRD requires institutions to determine their Identified Staff following a specific annual process, on the basis of the quantitative and qualitative criteria defined by the European Banking Authority (“EBA”).  At the EIB Group, the self-assessment for defining the Identified Staff is based on the EBA’s criteria, also taking into consideration the following elements:  The proportionality principle provided by allowing exemptions from the application of some of the remuneration principles.  The application of waivers permitted by the relevant authorities of the Member States at the level of institution and/or at the level of Identified Staff.  Practices existing across the private financial institutions showing the application of exemptions based on remuneration thresholds.  Factors related to the internal organisation, nature, scope and complexity of the EIB’s activities.  Therefore, as endorsed by the EIB governing bodies, the EIB defined its Identified Staff as the members of the MC, the Directors General107 and Directors108, considering that they have been entrusted with high responsibility for the institution, its strategy and activities and therefore have a material impact on the institution’s risk profile. Whilst the Management Committee members are not staff members, for the purpose of the EIB Remuneration Framework, they are included in the Identified Staff population.  Likewise, the EIF definition of Identified Staff includes the Chief Executive, the Deputy Chief Executive and the Senior Management Cadre109. This year, on an exceptional basis, one Head of Division (function C/7) has been included on the EIF list. Whilst the Chief Executive and the Deputy Chief Executive are not staff members, for the purpose of the EIF Remuneration Framework, they are included in the Identified Staff population.  Remuneration structure  The EIB’s remuneration structure recognises the EIB’s dual role as a bank and as a European public policy-driven institution by providing a total remuneration package that is aligned to private and public financial market practices.  The remuneration structure makes a clear distinction between fixed and variable remuneration and provides for a cap of variable versus fixed remuneration in line with the CRD:  The fixed remuneration constitutes the predominant component of total remuneration;  The variable remuneration is the secondary component of total remuneration and does not contribute to excessive risk-taking as its collective part is rather substantial and the levels of variable reward are moderate in comparison to regulatory thresholds and the private sector.  Since 2010, at Group level, individual variable rewards have been limited to a maximum of 35% of an employee’s annual salary (for the net performance award over the gross annual base salary, or the equivalent of about 60% if calculated as the gross performance award over the gross annual base salary).  The variable remuneration budget is approved by the Board of Directors on an annual basis. It amounts to a limited proportion of the overall staff budget available for the respective calendar year, and thus does not limit the Bank’s ability to maintain a sound capital base. The size of the variable remuneration is directly linked to the  106 These include detailed information on the Committee’s mandate, duties, composition and meetings.  107 The “Director General” title is internally associated with function SC/9.  108 The “Director” title is internally associated with function SC/8.  109 The “Senior Management Cadre“ at the EIF is internally associated with function SC/8. 

 Remuneration | 137  Bank’s overall performance, as measured against the organisation’s Key Performance Indicators110 (KPIs), which are also linked to the Group’s Risk Appetite Framework (RAF). Should the Bank’s KPIs remain below a set target, variable pay could be either reduced or fully suspended for the respective performance year.  Furthermore, at Group level, the variable remuneration is consistent with the performance levels assessment at year-end at individual level and can be withheld in case of low performance. Low performance is defined as failing to meet the required expectations related to objectives and/or competencies.  Moreover, the restrictions on the payment of variable remuneration in the context of capital conservation measures are applicable to the EIB under the BBP framework: “MDA” and “L-MDA” related regulatory requirements apply to the EIB, as BBP, in respect of the payment of variable remuneration. It should be noted that current Group RAF triggers are above the MDA and L-MDA thresholds. Furthermore, other management actions and/or recovery options are to be considered even before any hypothetical breach in line with the Group Recovery Plan.  The EIB Group promotes equal treatment of staff members through the maintenance of a single salary spine for all employees and the consistent application of rules and procedures for all remuneration elements. The objectives of managers in control functions111 are predominantly control objectives and independent from the results of the business area they control, while the remuneration structure for all staff also applies to staff in control functions.  The EIB Group remuneration policies and structure are compliant with the principle of equal pay for female and male employees for equal work or work of equal value as both institutions have had in place, for many years, mechanisms to ensure that staff decisions, including rewards, are gender neutral.  Furthermore, the EIB Group calculates and reports to the governing bodies the Key Risk Indicator (KRI) “Equal Pay”. This indicator measures the average difference between the remuneration of women and men for equal work or work of equal value. As part of the Group’s Risk Appetite Framework, the indicator also provides an early warning in case of an unexplained increase observed by the EIB and/or the EIF. The outcome of the assessments has shown that the existing pay gap is statistically insignificant.  Performance-related awards are provided to eligible staff members in the form of a one-off annual cash payment. They consist of two components:  the Bank Award, rewarding collective performance; and  the Individual Award, rewarding individual performance.  Similarly, the EIF remuneration structure makes a clear distinction between fixed and variable remuneration and provides a cap for variable versus fixed remuneration, in line with the regulatory requirements. Variable remuneration at the EIF includes payments depending on performance. The overall variable remuneration pool is dependent on the EIF’s overall performance in terms of its policy objectives and the generation of an appropriate return on its resources. 100% of both policy and financial objectives will deliver the full award pool budgeted in the EIF Corporate Operational Plan (COP)112. In line with the EIB approach, performance-related rewards at the EIF consist of a Fund Award and an Individual Award.  At the EIF, in line with the relevant regulatory requirements, particular attention is paid to avoid incentive elements in variable compensation that may induce behaviours not aligned with the EIF’s risk appetite. The EIF Remuneration Framework is risk-aligned and consistent with the maintenance of a sound capital base. Following the EIB’s approach, the variable remuneration at the EIF is directly linked to the EIF’s overall performance, and measured against the organisation’s KPIs, which are also linked to the Group Risk Appetite Framework.  Neither the EIB nor the EIF grant other types of variable remuneration, such as long-term incentive plans, guaranteed variable remuneration or retention bonuses. In addition, due to the EIB’s and EIF’s nature, strategy and business model, several regulatory requirements (such as pay-out in instruments and shareholding requirements) are not relevant to the Group. Similarly, and due to the annual bonus structure, regulatory requirements such as malus, clawback and deferrals are not applicable at the EIB Group. Further, the Group has  110 The full set of the Bank’s KPIs is provided in the EIB Group Operational Plan available on the EIB website.  111 The control functions at the EIB are defined in the “Remuneration Framework” as the Group Risk and Compliance Directorate, and the Internal Audit Department. At the EIF, the control functions comprise the Risk Management Department, including Compliance, and the  EIB Internal Audit, acting under a service level agreement and pursuant to the EIBG Internal Audit Charter.  112 The EIF Corporate Operational Plan is available on the EIF website.

 Remuneration | 141  Remuneration of members of the management and supervisory function  The compensation of the EIB’s and the EIF’s governing bodies is defined by their respective governance framework. Compensation of members of the governing bodies is composed of fixed allowances, fees or indemnities payable for their attendance at meetings and aiming to cover expenses related to such.  The members of the Board of Governors receive no remuneration from the Bank. Likewise, the EIF General Meeting is a non-remunerated governing body.  The remuneration of the members of the EIB Board of Directors is composed of a fixed attendance allowance, for each meeting day in which they participate, and a flat-rate subsistence allowance, to cover expenses if they have to stay overnight at the place of the meeting. The attendance allowance corresponds to EUR 600. The flat- rate subsistence allowance corresponds to EUR 250 for each hotel night. The Bank also reimburses their travel expenses in respect of their attendance at meetings. The attendance allowance amount has been kept constant in nominal terms (no increase for inflation) since 2002.  The remuneration of the members of the EIF Board of Directors consists of an attendance fee of EUR 300 per meeting, a flat-rate daily allowance of EUR 220 to cover expenses, and the reimbursement of travel expenses.  The EIB Audit Committee (“AC”) members do not receive remuneration from the Bank. For each meeting of the AC that they attend, members and observers of the AC receive a daily attendance emolument of EUR 1,500 a day. The Bank pays a flat-rate subsistence allowance of EUR 250 in addition to the reimbursement of travel expenses incurred by individual AC members. The members of the AC do not receive a bonus and are not paid for preparation times between the meetings.  The remuneration of the members of the EIF Audit Board consists of an attendance fee of EUR 1,500 per meeting, a flat-rate daily allowance of EUR 220 to cover expenses, and the reimbursement of travel expenses.  The remuneration of the EIB’s MC members is disclosed under the “Identified Staff” sub-section. 

 142 | December 2023 EIB Group Risk Management Disclosure Report  Appendix  Appendix I - Overview of the EIB Group  EIB  The European Investment Bank was created by the Treaty of Rome in 1958 as the long-term lending institution of the European Union (‘EU’). The EIB enjoys legal personality and financial autonomy and is endowed with its own decision-making bodies. The EIB’s Statute is drawn up as a Protocol (No 5) annexed to the Treaty on European Union (‘TEU’) and the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (‘TFEU’). In accordance with Article 51 TEU, it forms an integral part of both Treaties.  In accordance with its statutory framework, the mission of the Bank is to contribute towards the integration, balanced development and economic and social cohesion of the EU Member States. To achieve this, the EIB raises substantial volumes of funds on the capital markets and lends these funds on favourable terms to projects furthering EU policy objectives. Due to the particular nature of the EIB, its mission and its shareholder structure, there are a number of key aspects that differentiate the EIB from commercial banks:  Governance  Under its Statute the EIB is governed by a three-layer structure: the BoG, the BoD and the MC.  Supervision  The EIB is neither subject to requirements for an authorisation nor supervised by an external supervisory banking authority, and consequently is not subject to an SREP. Notwithstanding, the Bank is committed through its Statute to conform to BBP applicable to it, which includes adherence to relevant EU banking legislation and guidelines, assessed pursuant to the criteria set out in the BBP Guiding Principles. Fully respecting its statutory framework and duly considering its mission and mandate, the EIB determines which and how the BBP requirements apply to it, on an individual as well as on a consolidated basis. The AC, as part of its statutory duties, is required to verify, and report to the Board of Governors that the activities of the Bank conform to best banking practice applicable to it. The EIB has adopted a framework for implementing an internal and specific review and evaluation process (the “EIB REP”) for which the Audit Committee is responsible. This process has been framed by the EIB’s Review and Evaluation Guiding Principles, complemented by implementing rules and a methodology specific to the EIB Group. Overall, this framework is based on the EBA’s Guidelines on the Supervisory Review and Evaluation Process, while considering the EIB’s specific nature, policy mission, specific tasks and governance structure. The EIB REP supports the Audit Committee in its role to verify that the EIB complies with applicable BBP.  Public policy-driven, operating on a non-profit-making basis  The EIB differs considerably from commercial banks in that its activity is driven by public policy objectives and it operates on a non-profit-making basis, as specified in Article 309 TFEU. As such, the Bank does not have a specific statutory target for return on equity, but rather aims at generating an income that shall enable it to meet its obligations, cover its expenses and risks and build up a reserve fund.  Taxation  The EIB is not subject to national taxation and benefits from the provisions of the Protocol on Privileges and Immunities annexed to the EU Treaties (Protocol No 7).  Financial protection and preferred creditor status  The principle of supremacy of EU primary law and the principle that the property of the EIB shall be exempt from all forms of requisition and expropriation, as enshrined in the EIB Statute, are deemed to guarantee a full recovery of the EU sovereign exposures on maturity. This financial protection and the benefit of the preferred creditor status result in no credit risk or impairment loss from Member States Sovereign exposures are therefore not taken into account for the purposes of determining the EIB’s capital requirements. However, similarly to other creditors, the EIB is bound by the majority decision based on collective action clauses included in debt instruments issued by EU sovereigns. 

 Appendix | 143  Mandate business  The EIB originates business on its own risk, and to a lesser extent, through a risk-sharing mechanism by which a third party - the mandator - provides credit enhancement to the EIB or on behalf of third parties at their own risk.  Shareholder structure  The EIB’s shareholders comprise all EU Member States, which in addition to paid-in capital also commit to providing additional capital to such extent as may be required for the Bank to meet its obligations, upon the request of the EIB (callable capital).  Accounting standards  The EIB uses the EU Accounting Directives for its standalone statutory and consolidated financial statements. Consolidated financial statements are also prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union.  EIF  The EIF was established in 1994 by decision of the Board of Governors of the EIB, with legal personality and financial autonomy.  The EIF is a specialist provider of risk finance to small and medium-sized enterprises (‘SMEs’). It develops and implements equity and debt financial instruments which respond to the current financing needs of European businesses.  Similarly to the EIB, there are a number of important aspects that differentiate the EIF from commercial players. The following elements apply to the EIF:  Governance  Under its Statutes the EIF is also governed by a three-layer structure: the General Meeting, the Board of Directors and the Chief Executive.  Supervision  The EIF is not subject to prudential supervision but is committed through its Statutes to base its activities on sound banking principles or other sound commercial principles, as applicable. The EIF Audit Board is responsible for the annual audit of the EIF and it shall confirm that EIF operations have been carried out in compliance with its Statutes and Rules of Procedure. As from 2023, the remit of the Audit Board extends to monitoring and verifying compliance as concerns the application of sound banking principles or other sound commercial principles and practices as applicable to the EIF.  Public policy-driven organisation  The EIF differs from commercial players in that its task is to contribute to the objectives of the European Union. The level of remuneration or other income sought by the EIF shall be determined in such a way as to reflect risks incurred, cover operating expenses, establish necessary reserves and generate an appropriate return on its resources.  Taxation  The EIF is not subject to national taxation and benefits from the Protocol on Privileges and Immunities of the European Union annexed to the TFEU (Protocol No 7).  Financial protection and preferred creditor status  In line with the EIB, the EIF’s specific status under EU law is deemed to guarantee a full recovery of the EU sovereign exposures on maturity. The EIF’s exposures to the EU Member States are deemed to benefit from the EIF’s preferred creditor status and are therefore treated as posing no risk of loss to the EIF. However, similarly to other creditors, the EIF is bound by the majority decision based on collective action clauses included in debt instruments issued by EU sovereigns. 

 144 | December 2023 EIB Group Risk Management Disclosure Report  Mandate business  The EIF finances part of its operations out of its own resources. In addition, the EIF may accept the task of administering resources entrusted to it by third parties (mandates). The majority of the EIF’s operations are currently funded under mandates governed by specific mandate agreements. Under such mandates, the EIF deploys financial instruments in the form of cash investments, guarantees or other forms of credit enhancement.  Shareholder structure  The EIF’s shareholders comprise the EIB (59.8%), the European Union (29.7%), and financial institutions (10.5%). The EIF’s shareholders have committed to provide additional capital (up to 80% of the par value of each share - callable capital) in addition to paid-in capital upon request by the EIF General Meeting and to the extent required for the EIF to meet its liabilities towards its creditors.  Accounting standards  The EIF statutory financial statements are prepared in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the European Union.

This includes, for example, fluctuations in interest rates which, in the context of derivative transactions (such as interest rate swaps), would lead to an increase in the value of the derivatives but also to a decrease of the counterparty's credit worthiness (due to the increased liability).  HQLA  High-Quality Liquid Assets (HQLA) are assets of high liquidity and credit quality that can be easily and immediately converted into cash without significant loss of value, and which are part of the liquidity buffer as per Article 6 of Regulation (EU) No 2015/61 of 10 October 2014, as amended from time to time.  IA  Internal Audit  ICAAP  Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process: core internal risk management processes for institutions to assess and maintain on an ongoing basis the amounts, types and distribution of internal capital that they consider adequate to cover the nature and level of the risks to which they are or might be exposed.  ICF  Internal control framework  ICT  Information and Communications Technology  IFRS  International Financial Reporting Standards  IG  Inspectorate General Directorate  IIW  The Infrastructure and Innovation Window (IIW) is one of the two components (together with the SME Window) of the European Fund for Strategic Investments (EFSI).  ILAAP  Internal Liquidity Adequacy Assessment Process: core internal risk management processes and systems for the identification, measurement, management and monitoring of liquidity risk over an appropriate set of time horizons and management and monitoring of funding positions, so as to ensure that institutions maintain adequate levels of liquidity buffers and adequate funding.  ILM  The Internal Loss Multiplier Regulatory (ILM) is a regulatory scaling factor used as part of the standardised approach for operational risk. This factor is based on a bank’s average historical losses and the Business Indicator Component ('BIC').  IMA  The Internal Model Approach (IMA) is one of the regulatory approaches available to banks to quantify the required capital for market risk. This approach enables banks to use their own risk parameters to calculate a value at risk (VaR).  IMM  The Internal Model Method (IMM) is one of the regulatory approaches available to banks to quantify required capital for counterparty credit risk.

 Appendix | 149  SA-CCR  The Standardised Approach for Counterparty Credit Risk (SA-CCR) is one of the regulatory approaches available to banks to calculate their Exposure at Default (EAD) of derivatives and long-settlement transaction exposure to counterparty credit risk based on the replacement cost and potential future exposure of the transactions.  SAR  The Special Activities Reserve (SAR) is one of the Bank's two notional reserves (together with the General Loan Reserve, or 'GLR'), which covers unexpected losses of operations which are classified as Special Activities.  SEC-ERBA  The Securitisation External Ratings Based Approach (SEC-ERBA) is one of the regulatory approaches available to banks to quantify required capital for securitisation exposures. This approach relies on a formula using as an input the exposure's external credit rating.  SEC-IAA  The Securitisation Internal Assessment Approach (SEC-IAA) is a regulatory approach available to banks to quantify required capital for certain Asset-Backed Commercial Paper transactions. This approach relies on the institutions' internal assessments of the credit quality of the transaction.  SEC-IRBA  The Securitisation IRB Approach (SEC-IRBA) is one of the regulatory approaches available to banks to quantify required capital for securitisation exposures. This approach relies on a formula using as an input the Bank's own risk parameters calculated at the level of the underlying portfolio.  SEC-SA  The Securitisation Standardised Approach (SEC-SA) is one of the regulatory approaches available to banks to quantify required capital for securitisation exposures. This approach relies on a formula using as an input the exposure's underlying portfolio delinquency rates and respective asset classes.  SFT  Securities Financing Transactions (SFTs) are the financial operations listed in Article 4(1)(139) of the CRR such as repurchase transactions (repos), buy-sell back / sell-buy back transactions or margin lending.  SG  Secretariat General  SMEs  Small and medium-sized enterprises, as defined by Commission Recommendation 2003/361.  SRT  Securitisation transactions are considered as meeting the significant risk transfer (SRT) criteria as per Title 2, Chapter 5, Section 2 of the CRR.  SSPE  Securitisation special purpose entities (SSPEs) are corporation trusts or entities, other than a credit institution or an investment firm, organised for carrying out securitisations. The activities of these entities, which are structured to isolate the obligations of the originator institution, are limited to those appropriate to accomplish the objective of the securitisation issuance as per Article 4(1)(66) of the CRR.  STS  Simple, transparent and standardised: technical characteristics applicable to securitisation instruments, which are allowed to use that designation as per Article 18 of Regulation (EU) 2017/2402 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 December 2017, as amended from time to time.  SWWR  Specific Wrong-Way Risk (SWWR) is a risk arising from a situation in which future exposure to a specific counterparty is highly (positively) correlated with the counterparty’s credit quality due to the nature of the transactions with that counterparty. This includes for example, accepting securities issued by a given counterparty (or closely related entity) as collateral to secure a transaction with that same counterparty.  S&P  Standard & Poor’s  T2  Tier 2 (T2) capital is one of the three elements composing regulatory own funds (together with the CET1 and AT1). T2 is made up of T2 items (including T2 instruments complying with the conditions of Article 63 and to the extent of Article 64 of the CRR) calculated as per Article 71 of the CRR.  TBR  Tenor Basis Risk  TEU  Treaty on European Union  TFCD  Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures  TFEU  Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union  TLAC  Total loss-absorbing capacity: regulatory requirement for G-SIBs to hold a sufficient amount of own funds and highly loss-absorbing (enabling a “bail-in”) liabilities to ensure smooth and fast absorption of losses and recapitalisation in the event of a resolution.  UTP  Unlikely To Pay (UTP) is one of the two criteria considered to determine the default of a particular obligor as per Article 178(1) and (3) of the CRR.  VaR  Value at Risk (VaR) is a probabilistic method used to measure the potential loss in value of an asset over a given time period for a given distribution of historical returns and at a given confidence interval.
