Question for written answer E-000469/2025
to the Commission
Rule 144
Dan-Ştefan Motreanu (PPE)
The InvestEU programme, designed to stimulate private investment by means of an EUR 26.2 billion financial guarantee, has proven highly effective at mobilising funds. By the end of 2023, it had already generated EUR 218 billion in investment, with 65 % coming from private sources. However, high demand has led to concerns that the programme’s financial allocation will be insufficient to continue granting aid beyond 2025.
With 80 % of the public guarantee already allocated to implementing partners such as the European Investment Bank and national development banks, the programme is approaching its financial limits at a critical time for Europe’s economic recovery and green and digital transitions. Without further resources, InvestEU may struggle to maintain its role in leveraging private investment for strategic EU priorities.
- 1.Given these challenges, what measures does the Commission plan to implement to ensure the continuity and financial sustainability of InvestEU beyond 2025?
- 2.Are there plans to increase its budget or explore alternative funding mechanisms to maintain investment momentum?
