This achievement helped maintain steady upward profitability through its decisive lending and guarantee role in the country’s technical sector.

In 2018, TMEDE became a full member of the European Association of Guarantee Institutions (AECM). In 2019, following a positive recommendation from the Bank of Greece, the Fund was evaluated and approved by the European Central Bank (ECB) as a qualified shareholder of special participation in financial institutions in Greece and Europe, such as Attica Bank.

Additionally, TMEDE, in cooperation with the Hellenic Development Bank, launched in 2022 the HDB-TMEDE Guarantee Fund, which has allocated more than €45 million to over 350 SMEs.

Additionally, the Fund has been expanding its activities in real estate management through its subsidiary, Attica Bank Properties.

In 2023, TMEDE launched its subsidiary, TMEDE Microfinance Solutions, the first institutional microlending company licensed by the Bank of Greece. Through its award-winning (Gold Award 2024 – SME Lending Digital Initiative) innovative digital lending platform, it optimizes services for the Fund’s members, offering a modern financing experience. Furthermore, Mr. Makedos played a key role in having TMEDE Microfinance Solutions approved as a Financial Intermediary by the European Investment Fund, enabling it to successfully join the EIF’s InvestEU program. By December 31, 2024, TMEDE Microfinance Solutions has provided loans totaling €7.2 million to more than 350 professionals, young scientists, Startups, and SMEs, all members of TMEDE.

Under his leadership, the bank became the first in Europe to successfully manage the conversion of the cleared Deferred Tax Claim (DTC).
