Loan guarantee

The EIBs EUR 60 million (approx. USD 63 million) loan titled Food Logistics and Production Modernisation signed on 01 December 2016 was backed by a guarantee from the European Fund for Strategic Investments (EFSI).

The EFSI is a joint initiative by the EIB and the European Commission to promote investment in Europe, acting as the main pillar of the Investment Plan for Europe. It provides first-loss guarantees enabling the EIB to invest in more and often riskier projects. The loan described above was issued under the EFSI and thus benefits from a full guarantee through the EU budget.

EFSI support does not fall under EU State Aid rules as it is meant as a tool to address 'market failures or sub-optimal investment situations'. However, the investment support does include favourable conditions in the form of public assumption of risk.
