Together with the Federal Ministry of Finance, the Austrian Kontrollbank is responding to the Covid 19 effects and providing companies with additional credit funds amounting to 2 billion euros. In total, the credit line comprises two billion euros. The revolving loans are primarily intended to secure the exporters' locations and continue their operations. The financing is initially limited to two years with the possibility of extending it afterwards. The costs are based on Kontrollbank's refinancing framework (KRR), with a slightly increased bill guarantee fee in line with the risk. In addition to an existing export activity, a precondition for using this type of working capital loan is proof that the company was economically sound until the start of the Covid 19 effects in Austria. The Federal Government is prepared to assume guarantees for 50 to 70 percent of these loans, whereby the processing is carried out using the existing structures. Here you will find details.
