Thematic Objectives (with links to Europe 2020)
Financial operations and instruments in support of EU policies
• The Commission encourages the financing of investment in European enterprises and industries through a wide range of financial programmes and instruments.
• DG ECFIN is in charge of implementing a number of these programmes and instruments for financing investment from the Community budget. The funding is channelled through international financial institutions (IFIs) and through specialised programmes (e.g. for SMEs and Trans-European Networks).
The main participating IFIs: the European Investment Bank (EIB) Group, including the European Investment Fund (EIF), the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), and the Council of Europe Development Bank (CEB) in co-operation with the Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau (KfW).
DG ECFIN ensures the necessary coordination between the Commission and the EIB Group and the EBRD, and is represented on the governing bodies of these institutions.
Financing Options (EU, national, IFIs)
• A political priority (Europe 2020 , Communication on a Budget for Europe 2020)
• Effective way to support Europe 2020 objectives of smart, sustainable and inclusive growth
• 3 types of benefits
– Financial leverage – multiplication of scarce budgetary resources by attracting additional finance
– Policy impact – financial intermediaries pursue EU policies
– Institutional know-how – EU can use the resources and expertise of financial intermediaries
