Project Objectives
The goal of Phase II of the SME Finance Facility is to enhance access to finance for SMEs. It aims to bolster financial intermediaries' confidence in lending to SMEs, improve their ability to assess and manage related risks, and expand financing options available to the real economy by strengthening local currency credit markets.
