(Finance) – Further support access to credit for SMEs through the efficient use of public incentive tools, through collaboration between regional banks and finance companies: and the main objective of the Memorandum of Understanding signed today in Rome between Abi and Amphir (National Association of Regional Financial Companies). The initiative is part of the recent reform of public incentives for businesses – implementing the provisions of the Pnrr – with the aim of rationalizing and standardizing the current aid instruments.
“Community resources – we read in the text of the agreement – represent a strategic financial lever for the economic growth of our country, the efficient use of which is a national priority to be translated into a precise commitment on the part of the various actors involved in the definition process and channeling incentives towards businesses: central administrations, autonomous regions/provinces, regional financial institutions, banks and consortiums”.
Through the establishment of a permanent discussion table, therefore, Abi and Anfir will address the various issues relating to the relationships between the banking world and regional financial companies in a structured and organic way, including: define standard schemes in relation to the facilitation measures managed by the regional financial institutions, consistently with the current legislative and regulatory framework and the supervisory discipline to which the banks are subject; fencourage information and training on innovative techniques of subsidized financing of companies towards potential beneficiaries; define technical agreements relating to specific operational areas, open to the participation of individual regional banks and financial institutions; ccoordinate to define joint positions on regulatory measures of common interest.
