The European Commission launched in 2015 an initiative called the Investment Plan for Europe, with the aim of improving the investment and financial environment and creating a framework for stronger investment and sustainable economic growth in the European Union. The plan is also known as the Juncker Plan. The legal preconditions for the adoption of the Plan were met by the adoption of Regulation (EU) no. 2015/1017. The key instruments for implementing the Investment Plan for Europe are the European Fund for Strategic Investments, the European Investment Project Portal and the European Investment Advisory Hub. The European Fund for Strategic Investments is focused on investments in infrastructure, energy, research, development and innovation, broadband infrastructure, education and training, health and information and communication technology. Its main function is to assume part of the risk associated with the activities carried out by the European Investment Bank and the European Investment Fund. Due to this fact, the European Investment Bank can invest in projects with a higher risk profile than usual. About a quarter of the European Fund for Strategic Investments is dedicated to projects that support small and medium-sized enterprises, as well as medium-market capitalization companies (mid-caps). These companies are supported mainly through the European Investment Fund. The Government of the Republic of Croatia has appointed the Croatian Bank for Reconstruction and Development as the National Development Bank, which is in charge of implementing the Investment Plan for Europe in the Republic of Croatia. In June 2020, the total funding under the European Fund for Strategic Investments in the Republic of Croatia amounted to EUR 445 million and could encourage another EUR 1.7 billion in additional investments. With the support of the European Fund for Strategic Investments, the European Investment Bank approved the financing of a total of 9 infrastructure and innovation projects, worth EUR 117 million, with the possibility of mobilizing EUR 776 million of total investments. The European Investment Fund, with the support of the European Fund for Strategic Investments, has entered into a total of 12 agreements with intermediary banks, intended to finance small and medium-sized enterprises and mid-caps with a total market value of EUR 328 million. It is also to be expected that around 3,145 SMEs and mid-caps will benefit from better access to finance. Therefore, it can be concluded that the implementation of the Investment Plan in the Republic of Croatia justified the expectations and that access to new sources of financing was provided and that new investments of the private and public sector were encouraged. It is to be expected that this trend will continue with the InvestEU program, in the financial perspective 2021-2027.
