(PRESS RELEASE) LUXEMBOURG, 31-Mar-2023 — /EuropaWire/ — The European Investment Bank (EIB), the lending arm of the European Union, and The Italian Interior Ministry have launched a €272 million thematic fund to strengthen the integrated urban plans of Italy’s 14 Metropolitan cities. The fund will support private projects aimed at enhancing sustainable urban regeneration and economic revitalization.
Under the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP), the EIB will mobilize resources made available through an agreement between the EIB and the Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF), via financial intermediaries Equiter, in collaboration with the Intesa Sanpaolo Group, and Banca Finint, alongside Finint Investments SGR and Sinloc S.p.A., who were selected following a public call for expressions of interest. Equiter, along with Intesa Sanpaolo Group, will manage resources up to €163.2 million, while Banca Finint, alongside Sinloc S.p.A., will have available funds of up to €108.8 million.
The Thematic Fund for Urban Integrated Plans will attract private investment and, along with NRRP resources, finance projects that promote sustainable urban regeneration, social inclusion, energy efficiency, and digital innovation. The funding will contribute to the renovation, enhancement, and conversion of abandoned areas or buildings to improve their energy efficiency. Investments are also planned to promote sustainable, digital mobility and the redevelopment and safety of urban spaces.
The funding, with 40% earmarked for the Mezzogiorno region, will be distributed by financial intermediaries in the form of loans, equity, and quasi-equity products based on the evaluation of projects. The fund will sustain the working capital and investment cost needs of businesses. The project aims to have a significant impact on developing the country’s economic and entrepreneurial fabric.
“With this thematic fund the EIB, the EU bank, will support long-term investment under the NRRP to promote sustainable, functional and inclusive urban regeneration,” said EIB Vice-President Gelsomina Vigliotti.
“This initiative combines public and private resources in order to support further urban regeneration projects in cities to enhance the compatibility, inclusion and quality of life of residents,” said Prefect Claudio Sgaraglia, Head of the Interior Ministry’s Department for Internal and Regional Affairs.
“We are delighted to have been selected by the EIB as advisor for the Integrated Urban Plans Fund, which we will implement together with our partner Intesa Sanpaolo. Such funding for these cities provides a strategic opportunity for urban regeneration and the development of projects meeting environmental sustainability and social cohesion goals in accordance with the requirements of the European Union,” said Equiter CEO Carla Patrizia Ferrari.
“Thanks to the experience and collaboration of Sinloc SpA, Banca Finint and Finint SGR will actively promote this project in order to achieve the goals of the Thematic Fund for Urban Integrated Plans. These are priority objectives for our Group because urban regeneration, environmental sustainability and social inclusion help to revitalise local economies by combating an element of vulnerability that was exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Banca Finint Group CEO Fabio Innocenzi.
