The Western Balkans Investment Framework is built on a shared goal: bringing the Western Balkans closer to the EU. Since 2008, the EU has invested almost 2 billion Euros in North Macedonia to support connectivity and development through the WBIF. With the Reform and Growth Facility, this support continues, boosting growth, skills, digitalisation, and speeding up EU integration.
The European Union supports North Macedonia on its path towards EU membership. Through the Western Balkans Investment Framework (WBIF), the EU works with Team Europe partners to implement its policy priorities and investments across the region. The WBIF coordinates investment for sustainable socio-economic development in sustainable transport, clean energy, the digital future, environment and climate, and human capital development. It finances public sector infrastructure and uses a range of financial instruments to improve access to affordable and diversified finance for small businesses.
*The WBIF contribution to the Private Sector Development is not included given its regional character and no pre-determined country allocations.
