THE INVESTMENT PLAN FOR EUROPE 82% of the target achieved at European level 2017 was the year of the consolidation of the Investment Plan for Europe with 717 approved operations totalling more than EUR million, which should mobilise new investments of more than EUR million. The Juncker Plan centres its efforts on promoting investments that spur job creation and economic growth through a more intelligent use of new and existing financial resources. At the same time, it aims to eliminate investment obstacles, and offer better visibility and technical assistance to EU investment projects. Since the launch of the Plan in 2015, the EIB Group, comprising the European Investment Bank and its subsidiary the European Investment Fund, has already achieved 82% of the target set for 2018 of EUR million of new investments. In December 2017, the European Parliament voted to extend and enhance the European Fund for Strategic Investments (EFSI), the central pillar of the Investment Plan for Europe. The new and improved Plan will extend the timeline from mid-2018 to end-2020 and it will increase the investment target from EUR million to at least EUR million. Focus on fostering investments and innovation in the European economy The main objective of the Investment Plan for Europe is to help overcome the investment gap in innovation that has hindered the European economy since To achieve this goal, it is focused on removing barriers to investment through complementary actions at EU and national level. The Juncker Plan seeks to promote strategic investments for the future, innovation, corporate investment, climate action and the digital transition, by providing greater regulatory predictability, removing bottlenecks to investment and further deepening the single market. Portugal among the top beneficiaries As in 2016, Portugal was again in 2017 among the top beneficiaries of the Juncker Plan. Overall, since the Investment Plan was launched, around EUR million of financing has been approved in Portugal, which is expected to mobilise EUR million in additional investment. In this sense, Portugal leads the ranking of the countries that have benefited the most from the Juncker Plan when looking at mobilised investment in relation to GDP. Top five EU Member States in terms of investment mobilised under EFSI/GDP Estonia Greece Bulgaria Portugal Spain Innovation: a priority of the Juncker Plan in Portugal Investment in innovation is crucial to support the competitiveness of European companies and to promote the creation of jobs.
