As regards non-financial corporations, in 2021 more than 10% of new bank business loans were supported by financial instruments related to the EIB or the EIF. Looking ahead, the role of the EIB will remain crucial. Following the agreement between EIB and the Ministry of Finance, EIB will manage 5 bn euros in the context of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan.
Via this agreement, the EIB will utilize funds of the RRF Loan Facility for onlending to private investments. The RRF loan facility will cover up to 50% of each investment project, while the remaining amount will be covered by EIB’s and beneficiaries’ own funds.
