MILAN (Reuters) - The board of Italy's export credit agency SACE has approved state guarantees covering 80% of a 6.3 billion euro ($7 billion) bank loan for Fiat Chrysler (MI:FCHA) (N:FCAU), a source close to the matter said on Thursday.

Earlier this week the loan was approved by the board of Italy's biggest retail bank Intesa Sanpaplo (MI:ISP), which will disburse the money after a final green light and conditions for the loan from the Italian Treasury.

Both Fiat Chrysler (FCA) and SACE declined to comment.
