Description

Framework loan to finance integrated sustainable urban renewal and development projects, with a focus on resource efficiency and social housing. It will be used to co-finance the London Green Fund - a holding fund financial instrument managed by EIB, and using European Structural and Investment Funds (ESIF) available to the Greater London region. Underlying projects will also be supported with technical assistance funding programmes from ELENA.

Objectifs

The project aims at facilitating the combination of decentralised financial instruments (i.e. ESIF available to Member States and regions) with EIB funding in order to increase the leverage effect and enhance the Bank’s product offering. In addition, this project also brings together technical assistance resources, available for project preparation and implementation, funded from either ESIF or ELENA resources.
