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.
