[01] New funds worth 2.0 bln euros to be channeled to real economy
in December
Greek Economy and Development Alternate Minister Alexis Charitsis on
Tuesday approved the inclusion of two new funding tools to a Public
Investment Program, worth 1.5 billion euros to be covered by public
and private funds.
The new funding tools are Saving II Fund and Entrepreneurship II
Fund. Funding will begin this month with the disbursement of an approved
advance payment covering 25 pct of total funds.
In a statement, Charitsis said: "We implement our commitment to activate
by the end of 2016 very important funding tools to support real economy
and employment. The new "Saving at home" program will revitalise the
construction sector, while the the Entrepreneurship Fund will offer very
significant liquidity to small- and medium-sized enterprises. Combined
with a new, innovative Holding Fund -the first ever in Greece- in
December, real economy will be supported with a total of 2.0 billion euros
in the last month of 2016. With the activation of these tools we support
the dynamic and innovative small- and medium-sized entrepreneurship".
