Description
The operation consists of a "Linked Risk Sharing Guarantee" on a new loan portfolio provided by the intermediary, ERSTE & STEIERMAERKISCHE BANK DD (ERSTE or ESB), to mid-caps in Croatia.
Objectives
Through the intermediary, the aim is to support the final beneficiaries in funding their investment and growth efforts as well as their working capital needs. The EIB guarantee will also enhance ESB's lending capacity and risk appetite on a "semi-granular" portfolio of mid-cap loans which will benefit from a financial advantage in their risk pricing and cost of lending. Additionally, the EIB support will attract diverse funding sources for Croatian mid-cap businesses.
