Investment Plan for Infrastructure and Innovation Projects

EFSI provides EIB increased capacity to risk financing for large infrastructure projects via the "Infrastructure and Innovation Window”. A €16 billion guarantee from the European budget together with €5 billion from the European Investment Bank helps to leverage support from institutional investors and other lenders. With that in mind, project promoters have a better chance in securing finance for projects with a higher risk profile that, until now, could not receive financial support, or not to the same extent.
