The European Commission tabled the proposal to set up an InvestEU guarantee fund in June 2018. Members of the European Association of Long-Term Investors (ELTI), the association of National Promotional Banks and Institutions, welcomed this proposal and have discussed and reflected this interesting idea in depth. ELTI then published a position paper on InvestEU in September 2018. With this in mind, a morning discussion on the ELTI proposals was organised at the ELTI office on Friday, 26 October.

ELTI members presented the most important points of our position and this was followed by an open discussion with Financial Counsellors representing their respective Permanent Representations.
