The portfolio guarantees products, as an InvestEU implementing partner, encourage investments in the EU’s policy priorities from 2022 to 2027. In its capacity as guarantor, the EIF protects financial intermediaries from credit risk by providing portfolio (counter-) guarantees.
These are offered in the form of a capped or uncapped guarantee, and they will cover a portion of the credit risk of qualified debt financing transactions granted to predefined groups of ultimate recipients and included in the portfolio(s).
Financial intermediaries who qualify
Entities, both public and private, including but not limited to:
- credit or financial institutions, alternative lenders, and leasing companies can provide guarantees.
- counter-guarantee schemes, counter-guarantee institutions or other companies, credit or financial institutions formed or functioning in EU Member States and outside areas (OTCs).
