“We put the money where Europe's priorities are. Many people may
think defence is about tanks. No, defence is also about energy
security. It is about social cohesion and territorial cohesion.
That's the European brand. So we need to act in all these areas
in order to ensure peace, security, stability on our continent.”
Peter Macjob speaks to Nadia Calviño, President of the European
Investment Bank, about Europe’s shifting priorities, and the
growing urgency around defence and security. With wars, energy
shocks and tariffs reshaping the global economy, Europe is being
forced to rethink its position in a changing world. The EIB is
the EU’s lending arm, mobilising billions of euros to finance
infrastructure, energy and technology projects across Europe and
the developing world. Calviño, a former Spanish finance minister,
took on the role in 2024 at a time of war in Ukraine, rising
geopolitical tensions and growing strain on global trade. The
