Financing of TEN Projects

In addition to the dedicated TENs Investment Facility (TIF) the EIB utilises a number of products to finance TEN projects:

• Structured Finance Facility whereby the EIB can assume a greater degree of credit risk in the financing of projects.
• A Loan Guarantee Instrument for trans-European transport network projects (LGTT) . The purpose of this instrument would be to assist in the financability of TENs projects via the assumption of the traffic revenue ramp-up risk in the early years of the project. The guarantee instrument will be funded in equal amounts by the European Union and the EIB.

The EIB also works to actively promote public-private partnerships (PPPs) for use in TEN projects.
