The European Investment Bank (EIB) has granted a €270 million green loan to Acquedotto Pugliese S.p.A. (AQP), primarily aiming to improve water and wastewater infrastructure to provide more efficient and resilient services to over 4 million people in the Puglia and Campania regions of Italy.

The European Investment Bank (EIB) is providing €30 million to support the research, development and innovation activities of MERMEC Group, an Italian multinational headquartered in Monopoli and a world leader in the design and development of integrated diagnostics, signalling, and railway, metro and tram infrastructure maintenance solutions. The agreement was signed by EIB Vice-President Gelsomina Vigliotti and MERMEC Group Chief Financial Officer Michele Costa on the side-lines of an event in Matera organised by the EIB and Confindustria Puglia e Basilicata to promote EU bank financing opportunities for businesses in the Puglia and Basilicata regions.

Un nouvel accord entre le Groupe BEI, qui comprend la Banque européenne d’investissement (BEI) et le Fonds européen d’investissement (FEI), et la Deutsche Bank, permet à l’Italie de bénéficier de près de 600 millions d’EUR de nouveaux financements. Le but de l’opération est de soutenir les investissements de quelque 650 000 petites et moyennes entreprises (PME) et entreprises de taille intermédiaire (ETI) en Italie en leur permettant d’accéder à de nouvelles ressources.
