Newest developments in the European guarantee sector: The results of our half-yearly Scoreboard survey impressively demonstrate the dynamics of developments in the European guarantee sector. In the first semester 2020, the total outstanding guarantee volume jumps up by 135% to an all-time high of nearly 260 billion. This huge increase is originating largely from extensive government programmes (national, regional and EU). Concerning the number of supported SMEs, the trend goes into the same direction. During the first semester 2020, we could observe an increase of 57% and reached the highest amount of SME beneficiaries in the portfolios of our members that has ever been registered.
