EIB credit rating, Standard & Poor’s confirms the AAA

The EIB bonds remain very safe. Standard & Poor's affirmed its AAA rating on the European Investment Bank (EIB), with a stable outlook. After the vote in favor of the release of the UK from the European Union, the rating agency analysts consider it likely that London withdraw from EIB.

According to the Treaty on the Functioning of the EU, in fact, the EIB are part of the same Union member countries. In case of withdrawal of the United Kingdom, Standard & Poor's expects, however, that the shareholders continue to show a significant support to the EIB, in line with the business profile extremely strong. According to analysts, in addition, also the financial profile of the Bank will remain very high. The stable outlook reflects Standard & Poor's expectation that the strength of the EIB, particularly with regard to relations with the member countries, will remain unchanged over the next two years.
