Description
Objectives

The operation will enable to finance projects carried out by sustainable small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) and/or Midcaps in Italy.

The aim is to enhance access to finance for SMEs and MidCaps. At least 30% of the total loan amount dedicated to Climate Action projects.

Additionality and Impact

The operation will provide funding to the promoter, UniCredit S.p.A. ("UC"), with the aim of generating additional lending to Italian SMEs and MidCaps (50%), which is still at suboptimal level.


The operation foresees that at least 30% of the loans will be dedicated to Climate Action projects: it is envisaged that the 50% MidCap share will facilitate the deployment of larger CA projects which wouldn't be implemented by SMEs. The funding will reach both existing and new customers of UC.
