The annual EIB Group Survey on Investment and Investment Finance (EIBIS) is an EU-wide survey that gathers qualitative and quantitative information on investment activities of small and medium-sized businesses and larger corporates, their financing requirements and the difficulties they face. It thus provides a wealth of unique firm-level information about investment decisions and investment finance choices.
The last wave of the survey covered approximately 12 000 firms across the EU27 and 800 in the United States. Until 2021, the survey also included a sample of UK firms.
