Description
Programme loan (PL) to support EU small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) / mid-caps, climate and/or innovation financing as well as other policy objectives. The PL will achieve its objectives through the participation in senior and/or mezzanine tranches of securitsation structures issued by acceptable EU financial institutions such as banks and leasing companies.
Objectives
This programme loan is a dedicated securitisation (ABS) purchasing and guarantee programme to allow banks to transfer risk of portfolios of loans for the purpose of mobilising c. EUR 7 billion of support mainly targeting EU SMEs and mid-caps, but not excluding other policy areas such as climate, innovation, etc. This initiative is intended to provide a swift support to EU final beneficiaries, whose access to finance is being jeopardised by an ongoing war at the gates of Europe, high inflation levels not seen in decades and high energy prices. In addition, the PL would strive to support other key priority EU policies such as REPowerEU under certain sub-operations.
