Description: In its Communication on the global response the pandemic, the EU announces that the mobilisation of €15.6 billion from existing external actions will allow its action to be “fast, adapted, and operational.” Blended finance and guarantee funds should play a significant role in the Team Europe response, as they will allow to leverage new financial resources. The European Investment Bank will contribute €5.2 billion to the EU response to COVID-19 outside the EU.

The Development Finance Institutions (DFI) Alliance announced efforts to mobilize financial resources and bring technical expertise to private sector enterprises in emerging and frontier markets.
