The Abi proposals to facilitate green financing
The "Technical table to encourage the redevelopment of properties" met today in Rome, promoted by the ABI in collaboration, among others, with the European Commission, Presidency of the Council of Ministers, Bank of Italy, Ministry of the Environment and of Energy Security, Ministry of Economy, Enea, AbiLab, Ance, Ania, Confbuilding, European Mortgage Federation, Fiaip and consumer associations.
The Roundtable, which aims to promote possible interventions to develop demand and encourage the supply of financial instruments for investments in energy requalification and for the containment of seismic and hydrogeological risks of buildings, examined in depth the outcomes of the trilogue on the Directive European Union on the Energy Performance of Buildings (EPBD).
In this regard, the initial approach which envisaged the achievement of specific energy class targets for individual buildings in a short time frame has been overcome, granting Member States greater flexibility in pursuing the energy efficiency objectives of buildings.
In this context, 10 proposals were presented by Abi to encourage the development of the financing market for the purchase of properties with high energy performance and the redevelopment of buildings which concern:
- the introduction of specific public instruments for mitigating credit risk;
- the expansion of collection possibilities by banks, intended for the disbursement of green financing;
- the evaluation of the financing as sustainable from an environmental point of view, according to the European Taxonomy.
