The European Investment Bank (EIB) has further solidified its support for the expansion of Stockholm's metro system by approving an additional loan of 4.5 billion SEK (approximately 400 million euros) to Region Stockholm and Stockholm City. This latest financial injection brings the EIB's total commitment to the project to over 12 billion SEK, marking it as the bank's largest investment in Swedish public transport to date.

The expansion project, one of the largest EU-funded infrastructure initiatives in Sweden, encompasses the construction of three new metro lines, approximately 30 kilometers of new tracks (including about 20 kilometers of double-track tunnels), and 18 new stations. Additionally, the project will facilitate the development of 130,500 new homes along the new routes, addressing the growing demand for sustainable and efficient public transport in the Stockholm region.

Thomas Östros, Vice President of the EIB, emphasized the project's significance, stating, 'This investment strengthens both sustainable mobility and regional development. By contributing additional funding, we demonstrate our long-term commitment to climate-smart investments in Europe's growing cities. The project is an excellent example of how EU funding can benefit both residents and the climate.'

The expansion is a collaborative effort involving the state, Region Stockholm, and the municipalities of Järfälla, Nacka, Solna, and Stockholm. With a budget of 54 billion SEK at the 2016 price level, the project is a cornerstone in Stockholm's strategy to achieve its climate goal of net-zero emissions by 2045. The new metro lines are expected to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions by providing a viable alternative to car travel, thereby enhancing the quality of life for the region's residents.
