    Le PDG de Leonardo demande à la Banque européenne d'investissement de permettre le financement des projets militaires

    DÉFENSE Le PDG de Leonardo demande à la Banque européenne d'investissement de permettre le financement des projets militaires Le PDG de Leonardo, Alessandro Profumo, a appelé à une révision de la politique de prêt de la Banque européenne d'investissement (BEI) pour lui permettre de financer des projets militaires à la suite de l'invasion de l'Ukraine par la Russie. Il a notamment déclaré que le conflit avait « considérablement modifié la position de nombreux pays européens à l'égard du secteur de la Défense » et étayé l'idée selon laquelle « il n'y a pas de durabilité sans sécurité ». La BEI, l'organisme de prêt de l'UE détenu par les États membres, sert à financer des projets qui favorisent la réalisation des objectifs de l'Union, mais elle n'est pas autorisée à investir dans des activités ou des actifs de Défense essentiels tels que les munitions et les armes. La banque a refusé de commenter spécifiquement les remarques du dirigeant, mais a souligné qu'elle joue un rôle dans le soutien de l'industrie au sens large, notamment dans les projets de recherche et de développement qui ont une approche à double usage. « Un changement dans les règles de la BEI sur la manière de financer le secteur de la défense serait très pertinent en tant que créateur de tendances pour le secteur financier », estime Alessandro Profumo dans une interview au Financial Times. En mars, la banque avait accepté de soutenir le financement d'une initiative stratégique européenne de sécurité visant à renforcer les investissements en Recherche et Développement à double usage dans des domaines tels que les infrastructures et les technologies de sécurité civile. Les propositions de l'UE de l'année dernière, sur ce qui constitue une finance socialement durable, qui auraient qualifié l'industrie de la Défense de socialement nuisible, ont depuis été abandonnées. Le rapport final est « meilleur qu'il ne l'était », mais « pas encore sur la table » analyse le PDG de Leonardo. L'accès au financement est particulièrement critique pour les petites entreprises de la chaîne d'approvisionnement du secteur, qui sont cruciales pour l'innovation. Financial Times du 5 juillet
