The ''European Long-Term Investors Association'' represent a European-wide network of National Promotional Banks and Institutions (NPBIs) who offer financial solutions tailored to the specific needs of their respective country and economy. As of May 2020, the association gathers 31 European long-term investors from 23 Member States across the European Union and Turkey. With a combined balance sheet of € 1.7 trillion, ELTI's goal is to promote long-term investment in close alignment with the objectives and initiatives developed by the European Union in order to foster sustainable, smart and inclusive growth and job creation. Multilateral financial institutions complement the activities at national level with specific cross-border solutions or investments with a European impact. Following the specific public mission of each member the business model of each institution differs from country to country including different products and approaches. This is the same for multilateral ELTI members. Most of the members offer various debt-products but not all members have a mandate for investment in equity. The Association promotes and attracts quality long-term investment in the real economy.
Given the rapid changes our societies are undergoing and the 'short-termist' tendency of many economic and political actors, the need for long-term vision is more important than ever. The implementation of far-reaching global objectives such as building sustainable infrastructure for sustainable investment, fighting climate change or innovating in our resources consumption and in production technologies is not only an absolute necessity: it is also a path, in itself, to recovery from the current crisis on a new basis to avoid its return and ensure the well-being of future generations.
Maintaining a permanent and constructive dialogue on long-term financing with European financial institutions whilst representing, promoting and defending the shared interests of our Members. This includes informing the EU institutions on the role and potential of the Members as agencies for long-term financing and promoting convergence and common positions in response to consultations launched by the European Commission.
Developing the concept of long-term investment within the economic and financial sector whilst strengthening cooperation at an operational level, acting as long-term financiers and facilitating access between European and national financing schemes.
Strengthening the access of the Members to information on matters related to the EU and exchanging information and experiences amongst Members. This includes sharing the Association's interest and advice to the EU with regards to the promotion of long-term investment and informing its Members on the discussions, initiatives and measures conducted by the EU institutions.
Promoting academic research on long-term investments and exerting influence on EU Institutions by acting as a common interlocutor and Member spokesperson without prejudice to the separate freedom of expression of each Member. These include initiating and publishing research programmes and case studies and holding conferences on behalf of our Members.
On July 20, 2021, the European Commission published a new legislative package revising the Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism regulation (AML-CFT). National Promotional Banks and Institutions (NPBIs) such as i.e. Caisse des Dépôts Group (CDC), Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau (KfW) or Bank Gospodarstwa Krajowego (BGK) are impacted by this initiative in regard to the draft regulation on the prevention of the use of the financial system for the purpose of money laundering (AMLR) and/or the revised regulation on information accompanying transfers of funds and certain crypto-assets (Transfer of funds regulation).

The EU’s national promotional banks and institutions and the European Investment Bank have launched the two-billion-Euro “Quick Response - Care for Ukrainian Refugees in Europe” initiative. The joint initiative aims to provide immediate relief this year for refugees fleeing the war in Ukraine and promote a rapid and humane integration of Ukrainian refugees in EU members states.

In this edition, we speak about how the war in Ukraine has effected Poland and specifically the Polish financial and banking sector.
Latest Update - 9 May 2022
After decades of peace, war is back in Europe.
ELTI members strongly condemn the Russian invasion of Ukraine. We express our solidarity with the Ukrainian authorities and the people of Ukraine who are suffering from this unprovoked military attack. Ukraine is not only our neighbour; it is part of Europe. Russia’s invasion and military aggression is fundamentally against our common European values, and the economic and social cost in Ukraine and across Europe will be immense.

"Investing for the long term, a short-term emergency"
Bernard Attali and Laurent Zylberberg published this report which seeks to answer various questions including:
How can we invest for the long term in an increasingly uncertain environment, where signals are scrambled, chaotic and difficult to read? What can the logic of long-term investments be when recent history has turned the most rational economic calculations on their heads? How can we take into account all the effects of investment decisions when these effects are increasingly numerous and complex? Is it not the case that the high cost of investments for sustainable growth, which should have been made a long time ago, grows as those investments become increasingly necessary? Because the crisis requires an urgent response, to deal with the most critical situations, is it not becoming increasingly difficult to take into account the long term, whose effects are less immediate?
Although the research focuses on the situation in France, the work carried out in this research is intended to be broadened to encompass Europe as a whole for a study of greater depth and particularly within the European paradox: a group of highly interconnected economies where each economy of that group has strong individual features derived from history.
