EIB contribution to the Europe 2020 Strategy and the Digital Agenda
" EIB addresses the whole spectrum of ICT investments in tangible and intangible assets (from broadband through semiconductors, equipment manufacturers and services) as well as investments in ICT RDI though the Bank’s various products.
" Almost all large European ICT companies benefit from direct EIB financing for their projects.
" Smaller companies are supported through global loans provided by EIB partner banks or through venture capital provided by the European Investment Fund, a member of the EIB Group.
" For the inherently risky RDI projects, the EIB conventional financing products may also be blended with other more innovative instruments that entail a higher level of risk, including the use of the Risk Sharing Finance Facility (RSFF).
4 13-14 April 2011 European Investment Bank
" Average annual lending for broadband projects for the last ten years was c. EUR 1.1bn (EUR 1.7bn for 2007-2010)
" During the last financial crisis, EIB increased lending to broadband projects by over 50% with signatures for 2009 of EUR 2.3bn
" In 2009, loan approvals in the ICT sector reached EUR 3.9bn
" Approximately 40% of these were for ICT Research, Development and Innovation
" More than 50% of the approvals were for broadband projects including land, mobile and satellite
" Nearly 2/3 of the approved broadband projects were fixed solutions

EIB Broadband Financing: direct loans for broadband infrastructure 2000 – 2010
5 13-14 April 2011 European Investment Bank
" Investment requirements in excess of EUR 200 bn, with 2013 target requiring close to EUR 10bn.
" Though economically justified, substantial part of has questionable financial profitability, especially in non-urban areas
" Scope for public sector in generating critical demand (e.g. e-government, e-health) and new instruments for procurement (pre-commercial procurement)
" Role of financial instruments, in particular widening of RSFF, but also PPP and equity instruments

Cost per country
• Big 5 require between 63%-72% of the total cost (France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom) – with 62% of population!
• Rest of Europe consists of a heterogeneous sample of leading infrastructure: Belgium, Latvia and Slovenia together with poor infrastructure countries: Cyprus, Greece and Poland.
• Country-members have different infrastructural needs under the Digital Agenda umbrella • EU15 share from total ranges between 80%-84%

EIB Existing Instruments Projects must be:
• Technically sound • Financially viable
• In compliance with regulation • Show acceptable economic return

Different interpretations lead to different scenarios for the Digital Agenda targets
• Four scenarios, with different interpretations of each target: " Minimum: Theoretical speed, with internet centres in rural areas (ADSL2, Internet
Centres, VDSL2, EuroDOCSIS 3.0, FTTB) " Base: Theoretical speed, coverage to the household (HSPA, VDSL2,
EuroDOCSIS 3.0, FTTB, FTTH) " Advanced: Actual Speed, coverage to the household (ADSL2, LTE, VDSL2,
EuroDOCSIS 3.0, FTTB, FTTH) " Maximum: Actual symmetric speed, coverage to the household (G.SHDSL2 and
Fiber) • Every target in each scenario for each area leads to a range of technological
solutions. • Countries were further split into urban, suburban and rural areas, as the population
density is the key determinant of technology deployment cost
