WBIF is the key tool to implement EU’s Growth Plan for the Western Balkans, supporting the ambitious plan of doubling economic growth over the next decade. WBIF brings new, additional funds for investments to modernise infrastructure in Albania, accelerate transformative reforms and speed up EU accession. By developing the social and economic infrastructure and supporting a dynamic private sector, we create new market and job opportunities that benefit citizens and businesses in Albania and the region.
*given the regional nature of endorsed programmes, it refers to all beneficiaries
The Western Balkans Investment Framework (WBIF) is a financial platform that coordinates investments for socio-economic development in the region in key sectors of sustainable transport, clean energy, digital future, environment and climate and human capital development. Since its official launch in 2009, the WBIF has been addressing the region’s investment needs and supporting the Western Balkan partners in their EU accession process. Due to its collaborative nature and approach, the WBIF is the main financial vehicle for implementing the EU’s ambitious policy priorities and investments in the region. The WBIF finances public sector infrastructure investments and employs a mix of financial instruments to increase the availability of affordable and diversified financing for small businesses.
