A case study on the first 2014-2020 rural development Financial Instrument (FI) in Europe and the initial findings of a feasibility study on market-responsive FIs supported by the EAFRD form part of a range of new information materials on designing and implementing FIs.
Produced by the advisory platform fi-compass, the materials cover FIs under the Rural Development (EAFRD), Fisheries (EMFF), Regional Development (ERDF) and Social (ESF) Funds. They include a set of 13 case studies examining the use of loans, guarantees and equity investments under the four funds and a summary report of progress in setting up FIs across Europe 2014-2015.
