European Investment Bank: Lending to Sub-Saharan Africa (2000-2022)

The provided dataset traces the financial trajectory of the European Investment Bank (EIB) from 2000 to 2022, and has been derived from the EIB's annual financial reports. These reports offer a comprehensive account of the EIB's lending activities globally and specifically to countries outside of the European Union (non-EU or extra-EU), including and excluding the UK in the aftermath of Brexit. However, the EIB's annual reports do not explicitly present an aggregate view of its lending activities in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Therefore, this dataset is particularly valuable as it combines the country-level data from the reports to provide an overview of the EIB's total lending to SSA over this period.
