Brussels – Investment support for social enterprises and microenterprises in Italy and Spain is the goal of the new agreement<\/a> <\/strong>between the European Investment Fund (EIF)<\/a><\/strong>, part of the EIB (European Investment Bank) Group, and Italy’s Banca Etica<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The \u20ac164 million EIF<\/strong>\u00a0guarantee<\/strong> to Banca Etica will help support investments in the real economy of more than 200 million<\/strong>, with the support of the InvestEU<\/a> program, which deals with investments in the European Union. Any losses, up to 18 million, will be covered by the same guarantee.<\/p>\n

“This agreement further consolidates the collaboration between the EIB Group and Banca Etica<\/strong>, with a common vision: supporting an economy that puts people and social inclusion<\/strong> at the centre,” says Gelsomina Vigliotti<\/strong>, EIB<\/strong>\u00a0Vice President<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

“We want to create the conditions so that every entrepreneur<\/strong>, regardless of their starting resources, can access financing on favourable terms<\/strong> in order to invest in their future. Our goal is to promote an ecosystem that is more equitable, fair, and accessible to all.”<\/p>\n

More than a thousand enterprises<\/strong>, according to EIF\u00a0estimates, could be beneficiaries<\/strong> of credits from this agreement, mainly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), mid-cap companies (MCCs), micro-enterprises and social enterprises. The focus is on projects that\u00a0promote environmental sustainability, as well as cultural, creative, and training initiatives.<\/p>\n

Banca Etica<\/strong> confirms its commitment to ethical finance, in the words of Chairwoman Anna Fasano<\/strong>: “Through these agreements,\u00a0Banca Etica<\/strong> strengthens the synergy with the EIF and the EIB,<\/strong> which, for several years, have recognized our specific know-how in providing credit to the social economy<\/strong>. Banca Etica will, therefore, be able to provide additional resources on concessional terms to virtuous enterprises capable of generating a strong positive impact for the community.”<\/p>\n

Cooperation between the EIB and Banca Etica\u00a0has already had an antecedent in July<\/a><\/strong>, with a \u20ac60 million agreement that covered the promotion of labour integration and better services for refugees, easier access to credit for women-led businesses, and support for projects implemented in cohesion regions.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
