2 Contents FIs in Regional state of play FIs uptake in Member States Key challenges Proposed framework for FIs in Background & objectives Key novelties Next steps in developing and finalising the framework Off the shelf instruments & the SME initiative 2
3 Financial instruments in Regional ERDF support through financial instruments exists in the last three programming periods (since 1994) In and FIs were used only in limited extension (few MSs, limited resources) In major expansion of FIs in number, variety, scope and amounts paid to them (data as at the end of 2012): More than 800 FIs for enterprises set-up, with both models of implementation: with or without a holding fund; More than EUR 10 billion of programme funding delivered through FIs (5% ERDF) under more than 170 Operational Programmes; EUR 8,3 billion of OP contributions available in the specific loan, guarantee, equity/venture capital funds for investments in enterprises, out of which EUR 6,6 billion of ERDF. 3
4 Investments made by FIs for enterprises (at year end 2012) EUR 4.5 billion of SFs & national resources already disbursed to enterprises, mainly through loan and guarantee products More than of SMEs and micro-enterprises supported At least of jobs created through FIs; 4
5 Financial instruments and Ireland No financial instruments so far used in Ireland ERDF programmes, but revolving grant support provided to Ireland City/County Enterprise Boards. Feasibility Study conducted in 2012/2013 identifying a number of urban development projects; Subject to completion of ex-ante assessment and fulfilment of match funding/state Aid requirements, financial instruments for urban development projects may be deployed in ERDF programmes; Investment under innovation and resource efficiency banners also appears possible ( total funding envelope, including around 150 m of ERDF and national public& private resources); Move from grants to the revolving financial instruments represents a fundamental departure from previous programmes' practice. 5
6 Financial instruments (1) EUROPEAN COUNCIL 24/25 OCTOBER 2013 CONCLUSIONS: The programming negotiations of the European Structural and Investment Funds (ESIF) should be used to: Significantly increase the overall EU support to leverage-based financial instruments for SMEs in , while at least doubling support in countries where conditions remain tight. These instruments should be designed in a way which limits market fragmentation, ensures high leverage effects and quick uptake by the SMEs. This will help concentrate the funds adequately and expand the volume of new loans to SMEs. 6
7 Financial instruments (2) NEW LEGAL FRAMEWORK (Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013) To increase the use of financial instruments in , the new regulations: offer greater flexibility to EU Member States and regions in terms of target sectors and implementation structures; provide a stable implementation framework, founded on a clear and detailed set of rules, building on existing guidance and experiences on the ground; capture synergies between financial instruments and other forms of support, such as grants; and ensure compatibility with financial instruments set up and implemented at EU level under direct management rules. 7
8 Financial instruments : Key novelties (1) Wider scope: Expansion to all thematic objectives & priorities foreseen by OPs of ERDF, ESF, Cohesion Fund, EAFRD, EMFF More implementation options for managing authorities: FIs at national, regional, transnational or cross-border level (shared management: tailor made / off-the-shelf) Contribution to EU level FIs under central management (ring-fencing) Ex-ante assessment to be carried out before launch of FI operation under the ESIF Better combination of FIs & other forms of support; Phased contributions to financial instruments; More detailed rules concerning e.g. eligible expenditure at closure, (re-)use of interest/other gains and ESIF attributable resources returned during the programming period, the use of interest/other gains and ESIF attributable resources returned after closure (legacy) Regional 8
9 Regulation more in line with market practiceconcrete example Equitybased instruments + microcredit Capitalized management cost and fees to be paid for a period of 6 years after the end of the eligibility period will be considered as eligible expenditure. Eligibility of follow-on investments, 4 years after the end of the eligibility period if the conditions below are respected: Equitybased instruments Funding agreement (MA or FoF/FI) signed before ; 55% of the programme resources are invested before ; Follow-on investment capped to 20% of the eligible expenditure (less the capital resources and gain). 9
10 Financial instruments : Key novelties (2) IMPLEMENTATION OPTIONS 1) Traditional implementation: MA sets up a FI at national, regional, transnational or cross-border level Taylor made instruments (cf ) Standardised off-the-shelf instruments, quick roll-out 2) MA can contribute OP allocations to EU level instrument (COSME, HORIZON ) 3) MA can implement loans or guarantees directly (or through intermediate body) without formal set-up of a fund Regional 10
11 Implementation option: MA contributing OP allocations to EU level instrument OP allocation ring-fenced and to be invested in the OP area MA ultimately responsible for this operation but can rely on structures designed by the Commission in cooperation with the EIB Group Audit differently rely on framework audit contracts negotiated by the Commission 11
