What is EFSI?

The European Fund for Strategic Investments (EFSI) was launched in July 2015 as a joint initiative between the EU and the European Investment Bank (EIB) Group, of which the EIF is part.

EFSI is the financial pillar of the EU’s Investment Plan for Europe and has two components: the Infrastructure and Innovation Window (IIW) managed by the EIB and the SME Window implemented by the EIF. The market demand for EFSI-backed financial instruments has allowed an increase of EFSI SME Window resources in July 2016 by EUR 500m changing the SME Window objective from €75bn to €82.5bn of mobilised investments by mid-July 2018.
