This article illustrates the methodology used for the impact assessment of EFSI carried out with the RHOMOLO-EIB model and reports the result of the latest set of simulations, corresponding to the portfolio of all approved EFSI-supported operations as of June 13th, 2019. The estimates suggest that, by 2019, more than 1 million jobs are expected to be created thanks to the approved operations (1.7 million by 2022), with a positive contribution to GDP of 0.9% (1.8% expected by 2022) over the baseline.
