| Description of programme "European Investment Fund" | The central mission of the European Investment Fund (EIF) is to to support Europe's small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) by helping them to access finance. To this end, the EIF aims at satisfying existing and future market needs by designing innovative financial products addressed to their partners (banks, guarantee, leasing and microfinance institutions, private equity and venture capital funds, among others), acting as their financial intermediaries. By offering an Integrated Risk Finance Product Range of SME finance to their intermediaries, the EIF complement the products offered by the European Investment Bank (EIB). While the equity instruments aim to improve the availability of risk capital for high-growth and innovative SMEs, the EIF also targets the debt requirements, as many SMEs seek finance through this more traditional route. Therefore the EIF also provides guarantees and credit enhancement through securitisation to improve the lending capacity of their financial intermediaries and thus the availability and terms of debt for beneficiary SMEs. |
