🌏 Wellington marked the final stop in the Asia-Pacific journey!

This was a strong finish to a rich and rewarding mission 🤝

🌏 Hello New Zealand! We started in Auckland

This was the first time the EU visits the country as part of our Borrowing and Lending activities.

Exchanges focused on diversification and how EU bonds can fit into global investment strategies in a changing landscape.

📣Today is the European Citizens’ Panel feedback event!

Citizens shared their priorities for the next EU budget - today we show how their work was taken into account in our proposal.

Thanks to all the citizens for their commitment & to the organisers🙏
