Intesa Sanpaolo offers a credit line of 30 billion euros to facilitate external investments. Intesa Sanpaolo has initiated a new agreement with Confindustria, SACE, SIMEST, and ICE, which has led to an enhanced availability of credit for Italian PMI. The new 30 billion-euro cap is dedicated to financing exports, overseas direct investments, and domestic projects aimed at supporting international business growth.

The new agreement includes the intervention of SACE, which provides the Credit Buyer's Policy, covering commercial and political risks of sales to foreign markets with delayed payment and can ease bank credit transfers. SIMEST intervenes with the Export Contribution account interest to reduce the cost of remitting bank credits and with participatory and subordinated instruments for overseas investment. Intesa Sanpaolo has initiated agreements with local banks in France, India, and Brazil, with further collaborations expected within the first half of 2027, as announced on November 4, 2026.

ICE collaborates with the identification of commercial partners through promotional activities and Connecting Markets, a platform that allows identifying industrial counterparts in over 170 countries. Intesa Sanpaolo allocates the new 30 billion-euro cap to financing exports, overseas direct investments, and projects realized in Italy to support international business growth. The availability of credit applies to the next triennium.

Resources can therefore support different needs, from expanding the production capacity of an exporting company to establishing facilities or commercial structures in target markets. The agreement envisages an integrated financing model with the SACE and SIMEST tools. The resources of Intesa Sanpaolo remain subject to bank evaluations, while the insurance and facilitative interventions follow the requirements set by respective measures.

In the November 4 communication, the bank does not specify interest rates, maximum amounts per single enterprise, or uniform financing conditions. The possibility of using more instruments will depend on the project's structure and the evaluations of involved parties. The new commitment extends the already ongoing work of the Territory Division.

According to Stefano Barrese, in the last triennium, Intesa Sanpaolo had made available over 19 billion euros for international activities. This agreement is another step forward towards an Italian company that is increasingly orienting itself towards the foreign market, thus reinforcing its positions on the international scene.
