Cooperation
We support companies, sovereign institutions and multilateral institutions operating in emerging economies and developing countries, with an integrated range of products and services, for the implementation of their sustainable growth projects in these high-potential regions.
We support Italian companies interested in operating in emerging economies and developing countries in three ways:
We support the sustainable growth and internationalisation of companies in economies with the highest growth potential through debt, equity or guarantee instruments.
We finance the growth of your business over the medium to long term in sectors with a high environmental, economic and social impact, promoting the development of a solid entrepreneurial fabric in emerging economies.
We help consolidate your company's network of commercial partnerships, promoting shared growth paths and strengthening the socio-economic and entrepreneurial fabric of the regions in which we operate.
We finance projects in the infrastructure and energy sectors to support the competitive development of local systems and maximise their impact on the social, economic and environmental fabric, supporting companies in their transition to sustainable practices.
We finance the risk capital of your initiatives, investing in investment funds or supporting joint ventures dedicated to strategic projects.
We give your company access to the capital market for projects which can maximise the impact on the social, economic and environmental fabric, with a focus on infrastructure, energy, agribusiness and SME support.
With our credit lines to financial institutions (private banks, public development banks, microfinance institutions, etc.) we select projects that have a major impact on the sustainable development of the target country, promoting the financial inclusion of local businesses. Together with local institutions, we leverage synergies with SACE, Simest and ICE to promote initiatives that foster trade exchanges between local and Italian companies, supporting the organisation and participation in initiatives that facilitate international meetings and dialogue. We aim to foster the development of a favourable environment for the Italian business system in emerging economies by promoting the attraction of private capital in complex markets that are rich in opportunities. By deploying our resources and national, European and international public funds for cooperation purposes, our intervention methods in favour of Sovereign Institutions or Multilateral Financial Institutions are aimed at maximising impact in terms of achieving the SDGs.

We offer finance to the governments of partner countries, combining our resources with public resources from the Revolving Fund for Development Cooperation or with resources from the European Commission, ministries or other lenders. We work with Multilateral Development Banks, co-financing thematic projects of mutual interest or directly funding the institutions themselves, which in turn deploy the resources for new development projects.
Revolving Fund for Development Cooperation
The Revolving Fund for Development Cooperation, established by art. 26 Law 227/77, has €5 billion in capital and is one of the Italian Government's main instruments for financing bilateral cooperation projects and programmes with Developing Countries, as currently regulated by Law 125/14. We are, by law, the Fund's managing Institution. In this context, under the guidance and directives of the relevant Administrations, we oversee all activities relating to the granting of loans, the payment of loans, and the care and monitoring of granted loans, including their handling in multilateral and bilateral contexts in order to contribute to the implementation of Italy's foreign development cooperation policy.
