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. All numbers are in 2015 euros. 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.
