A recent fi-compass  event (19 June 2018 – Brussels, Belgium) presented the findings of a fi-compass study on financial instruments for financing rural, agricultural and forestry infrastructure and explored the potential for EAFRD financial instruments to finance rural infrastructure.

The event featured presentations from DG AGRI, the ENRD and the European Investment Bank as well as from Managing Authorities and financial intermediaries. Practical examples of infrastructure financing hold-ups, as well as potential strategies and tools for use of EAFRD financial instruments were discussed.
