Urban development best practices

The first institution of its kind in Europe, KredEx, located in Estonia, offers low-interest loans for the renovation of apartment houses. Using EU structural funds and several other funding sources to make a revolving fund, KredEx provides credit institutions with financial resources that they can then lend to housing associations for lower interest and longer loan periods than typical market loans. A key component of this renovation work is its link to energy savings. The case study looks at the operations of the housing renovation loan scheme in one city - Tartu.
