The social development bank for Europe

All CEB loans are granted in accordance with the Bank’s mandate. They have to meet specific technical and social criteria, and be in strict conformity with the Bank’s environmental, procurement and compliance guidelines and policies.

The sectoral lines of action underpin the CEB’s five-year development plan, which forms the Bank’s medium term-strategy. The current Strategic Framework organises these lines into: Investing in people and enhancing human capital; Promoting inclusive and resilient living environments and Supporting jobs and economic and financial inclusion corresponding to the new strategic priorities established by the CEB to better support the social policies of its member countries.
