COFIDES

COFIDES channels public resources into private-sector investment, overseeing government funds that offer medium- and long-term financing for projects serving a range of public-policy goals. Its work includes backing Spanish companies as they expand abroad, helping businesses hit hard by the COVID-19 crisis restore their financial strength, drawing foreign direct investment to Spain through co-investment arrangements, and fostering the country’s impact-investing market.

The funds it manages directly help Spanish firms internationalise, shore up the finances of companies heavily impacted by the pandemic, bring overseas direct investment into Spain through joint investments, and advance the growth of Spain’s impact investment sector.
