Mission & Goals
The Network of European Financial Institutions for Small and Medium Sized Enterprises was founded in 1999. As of 2025, its membership consisted of 20 national promotional financial institutions from various EU Member States and the United Kingdom. NEFI pursues the objective of following the financial, political and legal developments in the field of European economic and financial policy and all measures adopted by the EU institutions which are relevant for promotional financial institutions focused on the facilitation of SMEs' access to finance. NEFI serves as a contact for the European Institutions providing know-how and information on all promotional banking issues. Ultimately, NEFI assembles the common specific interests of its members, which result from their particular legal status and function as public financial institutions, and represents them vis-à-vis the European Union, the press and the general public.
EU Legislative Interests
All matters related to SME policy, in particular access to finance for SMEs, European Financial Services Industry and EU promotional and regional policies.
