The Government allocated up to £3.8 billion of funds to Green Investment Bank (GIB) for investment in the period to March 2016. To date, GIB has made commitments totalling £2.1billion. Government will fund these and any further commitments GIB enters into during the current year to March 2016.


GIB’s funding needs for the year 2016/17 are being considered as part of the current spending review and the outcome will be announced later in the year.
