The Real Effects of EU Loan Guarantee Schemes for SMEs: a Pan-European Assessment
We provide a pan-European assessment of EU credit guarantees to SMEs. Guaranteed loans are found to positively affect the growth of firms’ assets (by 7 to more than 35%), the share of intangible assets (by one third of the initial share in Italy and the Nordic countries), sales (by 6 to 35%), employment (by 8 to 30%), and lower their probability to default (by 4 to 5%).

Overall, guaranteed loans are found to positively affect the growth in assets (+19.6 percentage points over the two years after the end of the signature year), sales (+14.8 percentage points), employment (+16.9 percentage points) and the share of intangible assets (+1 percentage point).
