The new scheme has been agreed with four leading Greek banks: Alpha Bank, Eurobank, National Bank of Greece and Piraeus Bank. It follows the success of the €1.05 billion credit line to Greek banks, launched in December 2016.
This is the first-ever EIB gender support for business investment in Greece. The EU Bank is committed to fighting youth unemployment and €400 million of the new credit lines support investment in companies that support youth employment.
