The European Commission has put the final building blocks in place to kick-start investment in the real economy. A package of measures agreed today will ensure that the European Fund for Strategic Investments (EFSI) is up and running by early autumn 2015, keeping the ambitious timetable set by President Jean-Claude Juncker to implement the Investment Plan for Europe. The Commission has just published a Communication on the role of National Promotional Banks (NPBs) in supporting the Investment Plan for Europe. European Commission Vice-President Jyrki Katainen, responsible for Jobs, Growth, Investment and Competitiveness, said: “National Promotional Banks have a very important role to play in making the Investment Plan a success. Already nine Member States have come forward with contributions to the Investment Plan via their promotional banks, which have invaluable local expertise and knowledge. The European Investment Bank is already working closely with those NPBs, and we hope many more will be inspired to step up their efforts.” Commissioner Pierre Moscovici, responsible for Economic and Financial Affairs, Taxation and Customs, said: ''The synergy between European and national tools will be essential to start rapidly closing the investment gap that our economies face. In order to make this happen, we’re convinced that a well-structured network of national promotional banks can play a key role and complement the European Investment Bank.'' The Communication explains the important role that NPBs can play in getting Europe investing again by participating in EFSI investments. It provides clarity and practical guidance on how to set up a new NPB, the statistical treatment of NPB co-investments as regards government deficit and debt under the Stability and Growth Pact, the EU state aid treatment of national project co-financing and how NPBs from different Member States can join forces and work with the European Investment Bank (EIB) to set up investment platforms. This crucial guidance will help companies across Europe gain access to financing through EFSI, the cornerstone of the €315 billion Investment Plan. Further decisions taken by the College of Commissioners today include: Background The economic crisis brought about a sharp drop of investment across Europe. That is why collective and coordinated efforts at European level are needed to reverse this downward trend and put Europe on the path of economic recovery. The Commission set out an approach based on three pillars: structural reforms to put Europe on a new growth path; fiscal responsibility to restore the soundness of public finances and cement financial stability; and investment to kick-start growth and sustain it over time. The Investment Plan for Europe is at the heart of this strategy. On 28 May 2015, just four and a half months after the Commission adopted the legislative proposal on 13 January, EU legislators reached a political agreement on the Regulation for a European Fund for Strategic Investments (EFSI). Member States unanimously endorsed it on 10 March and the European Parliament voted through the Regulation at their plenary session on 24 June, allowing the EFSI to be operational by early autumn as planned. In February, Germany announced that it would contribute €8 billion to the Investment Plan through KfW. Also in February, Spain announced a €1.5 billion contribution through Instituto de Crédito Oficial (ICO). In March, France announced a €8 billion pledge through Caisse des Dépôts (CDC) and Bpifrance (BPI) and Italy announced it will contribute €8 billion via Cassa Depositi e Prestiti (CDP). In April Luxembourg announced that it will contribute €80 million via Société Nationale de Crédit et d’Investissement (SNCI), and Poland announced that it will contribute €8bn via Bank Gospodarstwa Krajowego (BGK). In June, Slovakia announced a contribution of €400 million through its National Promotional Banks Slovenský Investičný Holding and Slovenská Záručná a Rozvojová Banka, and Bulgaria announced a contribution of €100 million through the Bulgarian Development Bank. On 16 July, the UK announced that it will contribute £6 billion (about €8.5 billion) to projects benefiting from EFSI finance.

Europski investicijski fond (EIF), Erste&Steiermärkische Bank i Erste&Steiermärkische S-Leasing potpisali su sporazum o jamstvu koje će Ersteu omogućiti da inovativnim malim i srednjim tvrtkama u Hrvatskoj osigura zajmove i zakupe u vrijednosti od 100 milijuna eura, objavili su u utorak iz tih institucija. Sporazum je potpisan u okviru inicijative Europske komisije InnovFin, koja je podržana od strane programa EU-a za istraživanje i inovacije, a omogućen je kroz podršku Europskog fonda za strateška ulaganja (EFSI), središnjeg stupa Plana ulaganja za Europu Europske komisije (takozvani Junckerov plan). Kako se prenosi u priopćenju, predstavnici EIF-a i Erste banke su izrazili zadovoljstvo potpisivanjem sporazuma te suradnji na InnovFin instrumentu garancija za malo i srednje poduzetništvo. Direktor EIF-a Alessandro Tappi je ocijenio kako dobro uhodana distribucijska mreža Erstea, jedne od najvećih bankarskih grupa u Hrvatskoj, u kombinaciji s dobrom tržišnom pozicijom i ekspertizom u pozajmljivanju sektoru malih i srednjih poduzeća, može omogućiti uspješno provođenje InnovFina. “Posljedično, taj će projekt odigrati ulogu u pomaganju tvrtkama da pristupe sredstvima financiranja podržanima od strane EU-a kako bi na lokalno tržište uveli inovacije”, istaknuo je Tappi na potpisivanju u Zagrebu. Potpredsjednik Europske Komisije za radna mjesta, rast, ulaganja i konkurentnost Jyrki Katainen izrazio je zadovoljstvo što će sporazum omogućiti malenim i srednjim tvrtkama u Hrvatskoj da dođu do izvora financiranja koji su im potrebni za inovacije, rast i stvaranje novih radnih mjesta, što su sve važni ciljevi Investicijskog plana za Europu. “Malene i srednje tvrtke ključne su za gospodarstvo. Pokretači su novih tehnologija i novih mogućnosti. Uz pomoć Europskog fonda za strateška ulaganja želimo dati priliku tim tvrtkama za uspjeh u Hrvatskoj, ali i u Europi”, izjavio je u priopćenju Katainen. Član Uprave Erste banke Boris Centner također ističe da su mala i srednja poduzeća pokretač gospodarskog rasta te jedan od najvažnijih segmenata poslovne strategije te banke. “Ugovor o garanciji omogućit će nam da u sljedeće dvije godine plasiramo 100 milijuna eura kredita inovativnim poduzetnicima uz povoljnije uvjete, pružimo im potporu u financiranju i provedbi održivih proizvodnih ulaganja te klijentima osiguramo povećanu dostupnost financijskih sredstava”, rekao je Centner.
