Ex-ante assessment: findings
7
Key issues in access to finance:
- insufficient collateral- financial sector highly selective
approach to financing agriculturalproducers
- high interest rates- loan processing fees and various
related insurance policiesincrease investment costs
- lack of own contribution
Financing needs:
working capital refinancing purchase of tangible and intangible assets:
livestock, annual plants, productionspace, machinery & equipment
rent of machinery & equipment launching new products % services developing international activities & entering
new markets improving energy efficiency of companies

Obstacles faced
13
What we gave up Why
Combination of FIs and grants
Combination disables flexibility in eligibility of costs
Grant calls should ideally be ‘permanently’ open calls
Sequence of payment installments should be different (noadvances - no refunds)
Very likely prolonged approval procedure due to coordinationin checking maximum support rates and amounts
Stand alone working capital products
EAFRD more rigid requirements in the Guidance(requirements for investment to be supported via EAFRD)
![Page 14: Mr Krešimir Ivančić Assistant Minister · #ficompass. Proposed FI Investment Strategy. 4. Micro and Small Loans for Rural Development. Individual Guarantees for Rural Development](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022041217/5e065441d82b6440840f2426/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
#ficompass
Prospects (expectations) (I)
14
Legal certainty: clear, straightforward and timely legal framework Substantial grants support to types of operation which are not
adequate for FIs Easily manageable FI & grant combination focused exclusively on
maximum support rates and amounts at the completion ofinvestment
Prerequisites for efficiency: practical, flexible, simple, quicklyimplementable solutions enabling adaptability
Reducing complexity to ensure synergy between grants and FIs

Prospects (expectations) (II)
15
Greater financialresponsibility:multiplication, mobilisation of privatecapital for publicpolicy purposes &re-usage of funds
Clearer prioritiesand enhancedtransparency:higheraccountability ofpublic decisionmakers
More trust amongstakeholders: bettercommunication &better governanceof CAP
Boosting entrepreneurial collectivementality & needs driven applications:away from process-orientation towardsresult orientation
Less complexity enabling(MA) fast response tochange
