ESIF financial instruments

Financial instruments co-funded by ESIF can be an efficient way to invest in growth and development across the European Union. They can be set up by Member States and regions to invest ESIF resources through financial products such as loans, guarantees, equity and other risk-bearing mechanisms that support projects on the ground.

fi-compass offers general information, practical tools and learning opportunities that guide you step-by-step through the life cycle of ESIF financial instruments. Specific advice is offered also on the use of financial instruments under each of the ESI Funds.
