This outcome mostly resulted from the strength of support from monetary, financial supervisory and fiscal policies. Using the 2021 vintage of the EIB Investment Survey (EIBIS) matched with balance sheet data on firms' profits and losses, this paper investigates what has driven the allocation of fiscal policy support and the impact of this support during the investment recovery. It finds that support was largely directed towards firms that were most affected by the crisis in terms of lost sales, and was not tilted firms already weak before the crisis. It also shows that the firms that benefitted from this support tend to be more optimistic in their investment plans, especially with regard to digital technologies. 606 $aBusiness & Economics / Corporate Finance$2bisacsh 606 $aEconomics 615 7$aBusiness & Economics / Corporate Finance 615 0$aEconomics 700 $aHarasztosi$b Pe?ter$01070975 702 $aMaurin$b Laurent 702 $aPa?l$b Roza?lia 702 $aRevoltella$b Debora 702 $avan der Wiel$b Wouter 712 02$aEuropean Investment Bank 801 0$bScCtBLL 801 1$bScCtBLL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910634069503321 996 $aEIB Working Paper 2022$92994340 997 $aUNINA
