Nadia CalviñoEvery podcast appearance, updated as new ones drop

EU Finance Podcast host Aidas Palubinskas chats with Nadia Calviño, President of the European Investment Bank — the EU's principal investment arm and one of the world's largest multilateral lenders. With a career spanning the European Commission, the Spanish government, and the IMF's top financial committee, she brings a rare inside-out view of how EU finance actually works. The conversation covers what the Savings and Investments Union means for ordinary savers, how the EIB crowds in private capital and whether retail investors can ever really be part of that story, why European companies struggle to scale at home, and what the bank's digital bond issuances tell us about where capital market infrastructure is heading. The episode also touches on the EIB's landmark role in sustainable finance and its recent shift into defence investment.

Nadia Calviño Santamaría, First Vice-President of the Government of Spain and Minister for the Economy and Digital Transformation, explores the economic prospects for Spain and the European Union.

After the ECOFIN meeting, Bruegel and the Financial Times hosted a conversation with the Minister of Finance from Spain to discuss challenges related to pressing issues in the agenda ahead of the European Council in December, including European Monetary Union reforms and digital taxation.
