ELTI Workshop 'Boosting Investment in Social Infrastructure'
Agenda Invitation
High quality health, education and social housing services are as crucial as energy or digital infrastructure when it comes to building resilient and competitive territories. In February 2017, ELTI launched a dedicated high-level task force – under the aegis of the EC and with the involvement of NPBIs and of the EIB – aiming to identify the needs for future investments and the financial models for social infrastructure to promote financing for this sector, something that is crucial for sustainable and inclusive growth. We will discuss how to relaunch social infrastructure financing in the EU, based on the initial findings of the High Level Task Force and with the presentation of concrete local examples of successful investments in the sector. You will find enclosed a draft agenda for the workshop.
EP Intergroup on Long-Term Investment
Financing the social housing sector: which models?
Date: 21 May 2021 - 9:00 AM - 10:30 AM (CEST)
Register Here
Background
The recession following the COVID-19 pandemic grants an increasing role to housing, making it especially harder for the most deprived to work in decent conditions. At the same time, social housing is considered an essential lever to achieve energy efficiency objectives and fight against energy poverty, as set out by the Renovation Wave. It is finally a key principle in the implementation of the European Pillar of Social Rights. As a result, adequate and sufficient sources of funding are required.
This webinar will be the occasion to explore different models of financing of the social housing sector in Europe and how they can be articulated. National Promotional Banks and Institutions (NPBIs), long-term investors, very active in financing social housing will share their experience in articulating national public resources, EU funding and private capital, along social impact private investors and experts on the field.
Simona Bonafé (S&D), Maria da Graça Carvalho (EPP) and Dominique Riquet (RE), are pleased to invite you to the next conference of the Sustainable, Long-term Investments & Competitive European Industry Intergroup on Financing the social housing sector: which models?.
This session will be the occasion to explore different models of financing of the social housing sector in Europe and how they can be articulated in the context of the recession following the COVID-19 pandemic, the energy efficiency objectives set out by the Renovation Wave, and the implementation of the European Pillar of Social Rights.

CDP Workshop: The Investment Plan for Europe and How to Decline It Outside Europe: The perspective from National Promotional Institutions (NPIs)
The Investment Plan for Europe and How to Decline It Outside Europe: The perspective from National Promotional Institutions (NPIs)
Europe is now facing one of the most important challenges of its recent history with ongoing great demographic, political, financial and economic changes regarding mainly its internal equilibrium, the relationships within the Mediterranean region, and worldwide balances.
The European Central Bank intervention alone is not sufficient anymore to restore economic activity and support the business cycle in Europe. There is a broad consensus about the need to stimulate the aggregate demand by re-launching investments in order to achieve sustainable and inclusive growth, improving the levels of stability of economic system.
In last years, NPIs have been playing a significant role in sustaining both national and European economies. Their role has become more and more important and the range of available financial tools has widened in response to the evolution of the global scenario. In a period with an abundant liquidity supply, these institutions have been asked to support economic activity by playing a promotional role in the Investment Plan for Europe (also known as Juncker Plan).
Nowadays, the European Union is working to implement an External Investment Plan aiming to support investments in regions outside the EU as a vehicle to tackle the root causes of migration, while contributing to the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals. This Plan could be crucial to help facing the long-lasting refugee crisis and to re-affirm Europe’s role at global level.
