(wS/cdu) wins 19.02.2023 | Since 1948, i.e. for 75 years now, the federal development bank KfW has been committed to improving economic, social and ecological living conditions. “We get regular reports on this in the budget committee,” said Bundestag member Volkmar Klein (CDU). Companies, private households and municipalities in the Siegen-Wittgenstein district would also have benefited again from KfW funding commitments in 2022.
Last year, under the “Living and Living” category, there were 477 grants to “private customers” totaling EUR 16.8 million. The lion’s share of this is attributable to the KfW home ownership program at around EUR 14 million. Together with the child benefit subsidy, 252 residential units were supported. 260 apartments benefited from the topic of “age-appropriate conversions”, which also include barrier reduction and burglary protection.
In the federal funding for energy-efficient buildings (BEG), the 151 funding commitments add up to 30.8 million euros.
“Measures for energy efficiency are of increasing importance for the structural transformation,” says Klein. The KfW report counts a total of 14.1 million euros in funding for 2022 in Siegen-Wittgenstein.
One focus of KfW funding relates to supporting companies. Volkmar Klein: “The complex crises are a burden on the economy. It is therefore significant that KfW funds can help to overcome the challenges.” A good EUR 16.5 million in corona corporate loans were promised to the economy in Siegen-Wittgenstein in 2022. 48 companies were able to use the ERP promotional loan for small and medium-sized companies with a promotional volume of EUR 14.3 million. A total of 146 cases with 47.8 million euros were accounted for as corporate investments.
In the reporting period, KfW was able to support start-up activities in Siegen-Wirtgenstein twenty times, for which the figures show EUR 2.8 million.
