Summary sheet
- Credit lines - Credit lines
The project consists in a linked risk-sharing operation (own-resources; full delegation) to support mid-caps in Portugal across all EIB's eligible sectors.
- Market gap / sub-optimal investment situation: The operation is launched to support the ongoing recovery of the Portuguese economy in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, followed and exacerbated by the war in Ukraine that affected Portuguese small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) and mid-caps, which have above EU-average structural weight in the national economy and are more vulnerable to economic downturns compared to larger corporates. - Project acceleration: The quick mobilisation of financing for corporates is strategic to ensure that companies continue to have liquidity to operate and contribute to the country's productive capacity for goods and services. - Employment: The operation will contribute to the preservation and creation of employment in a still unstable phase of the economic cycle. - Financial Support to Midcaps: The operation addresses the EIB objective of providing financial support to mid-caps, allowing for competitive and flexible financing. Cohesion: Around 64% of the operation is expected to benefit Midcaps located in cohesion priority regions.
