    Description
    Objectives

    A credit line for small and medium sized projects to be originated and administered by BPI in the SME and municipal sector in Portugal. The EIB and BPI would co-finance SMEs and Local Authorities according to pre-defined rules and procedures concerning the projects and promoters. Allocations to SMEs would account for no less than 70% of the total credit line amount.

    The credit line will contribute to EU and EIB priority objective of fostering investments by SMEs and municipalities. A large share of the investments will be carried out in convergence regions. The operation is therefore eligible for financing under the EC Treaty Article 267 a) Convergence and c) Common European interest (SME).
