THE IMPROVING ACCESS TO FINANCE WITHIN THE FRAMEWORK OF SOCIAL ECONOMY. RECONSIDERATION OF THE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND INVESTMENTS MECHANISM IN THE CONTEXT OF THE SOCIAL ECONOMY ACTION PLAN

Abstract

This paper aims to analyse the future of access to financing mechanisms by social economy companies in the context of the Action Plan for the social economy launched by the European Commission. It starts with the consideration of essential aspects of the social economy contextualized in the moment of post-pandemic recovery, valuing the role that the social economy can and must assume. Pre-existing financing mechanisms are analysed and the content of the Action Plan in financial matter is reflected, with a critical vision. Together, the Action Plan and the Sustainable Development Goals adopted by the United Nations are considered. It concludes with reflections that aims to bring the research analysis closer to the action framework of social economy companies.
