    Description
    Objectives

    The project consists of a loan for financing small and medium-sized projects carried out primarily by small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) or mid-caps, mainly located in Spain. A relevant portion of the portfolio will be focused on SMEs and mid-caps with great additionality, such as micro enterprises and those located in regions with high unemployment.

    This loan will have a special dedication to SMEs and mid-caps that fulfil one or more of the following characteristics (more detail will be provided at the appraisal stage): • Located in transition/less-developed regions. • Located in regions/provinces with higher than average unemployment. • Micro-enterprises (less than 10 employees). • Vulnerable/strategic sectors such as agriculture. • Innovative companies in accordance with EIB's innovation criteria as proposed in the note "Contribution of EIB intermediated lending to SMEs and mid-caps in the EU to the innovation and skills public policy goal" (OPS/OSD-3/2017-1347, PJ/INCO/2017-186) for multi-beneficiary intermediated loans (MBILs) in the EU.
