In the first six months of 2019, Credem disbursed loans for almost 100 million euros to small and medium-sized enterprises as part of the agreements signed with the European Investment Fund.
In particular, there are three agreements with the Fei: Agri Italy Guarantee Platform, for companies in the agricultural and agro-industrial sector signed in March 2019; Cosme to facilitate access to credit for small and medium-sized enterprises renewed last February; and Innovfin, to support investments in innovation and research.
"The Credem Group's goal has always been to support client companies in their growth path - said Giancarlo Giancarlo Bertolini, Credem marketing director - These agreements are evidence of our commitment to offer concrete, effective and innovative tools to satisfy the needs of SMEs. We are in fact firmly convinced that companies that invest in innovation are the ones that will be able to best interpret market trends and be more competitive both nationally and internationally. We also believe it is important to facilitate access to credit for smaller companies which, together with agricultural companies, are the backbone of the economic fabric of many areas of the country and which can also express great potential in the future”.
