Things
The aim of the contribution is to broaden the potential audience of SME Issuers, reducing the incidence of fixed costs connected to the issue of bonds and therefore making the issuance of Minibonds more convenient even for more modest denominations, suitable for smaller companies. The non-repayable contribution partly covers some Minibond issuance costs that SMEs must face to participate in the Basket Bond Lazio operation guaranteed by the Minibond Guarantee Fund established with the resources of the 2021-2027 ERDF Regional Programme.
