The Juncker Plan – the vehicle for revived European ambition?

The proposed regulation on the creation of the European Fund for Strategic Investments (EFSI) was presented by the European Commission on 13th January 2015. This guarantee fund is part of a wider political project that aims to ensure the catalysis of private investment in order to fulfill European priorities. The Juncker Plan comprises three strands linking financing, a project pipeline and an investment-friendly environment.

This paper recalls the three dimensions of the Juncker Plan, analyses how their joint effect can guarantee the success of the latter, and sets out some views on the technical aspects currently under debate.
