This new package approved in Royal Decree 25/2020 aims to reinforce and accelerate the recovery that the economy has already started after the crisis caused by COVID-19. To this end, various measures are put in place to boost investment and strengthen the solvency of companies, which in turn will support thousands of jobs.
The main measure in this package is a new credit line. This new credit line of guarantees will be channeled through the Official Credit Institute (ICO), amounting to €40,000 million and aimed at promoting the implementation of new business investment projects. This measure is part of the plan to reactivate the economy and employment and aims to support new investment projects in the production structure, after a first phase in which the coverage of liquidity needs prevailed. This new line is aimed at promoting investment activity and fostering it in areas where the greatest added value is generated, mainly around two axes: environmental sustainability and digitization.
