International financial institutions (IFIs) around the world have been asked in recent years to take on new policy issues, in an effort to improve their performance and transparency. Many have made a concerted effort to do so, although to mixed reviews. One important exception is the European Investment Bank (EIB), a secretive bank of the European Union (EU). When other IFIs are taking steps to address these policy issues, the EIB has shown the least amount of change.
