The event, which was attended by representatives of the 31 ELTI members, was an opportunity to share and
discuss best practices of cooperation between NPBIs, identifying shared solutions and tools to address
upcoming strategically significant challenges facing the European Union. The participants also reflected on
how to promote the inclusiveness of the Association by encouraging its expansion to new members, with the
aim of making ELTI increasingly the expression of the voice of all EU countries and a more effective instrument
at the service of the European institutions.
At the end of the two-day event, a new initiative for the Association was proposed: the creation of a
discussion group comprising the chief economists of ELTI members with the aim of identifying the new
challenges posed by the current European macroeconomic and geopolitical environment and developing
joint solutions to be presented to the European institutions.
“The ELTI Association, comprising 31 National Promotional Banks and Institutions in Europe, came together
at its 11th General Assembly to reaffirm its shared commitment to inclusive financial growth in Europe. ELTI
members are increasingly becoming key players in the recovery and growth of the EU and its partner
countries, facilitating the exchange of resources between the public and private sectors, promoting synergies
between members to generate innovative and sustainable projects, and working with EU institutions to
implement various European programmes”, said ELTI President Dario Scannapieco.
