Central Bank of Djibouti Leasing Client Preparation

active

The Djibouti Central Bank (CBD) Leasing Client Preparation Project is a one-year initiative, responding to a request from the Central Bank of Djibouti (CBD) following the IFC Djibouti Leasing Market Study 2023. This project aims to support the CBD in creating a favorable regulatory environment for new leasing entrants, thereby promoting best practices in the leasing sector. The project will focus on building the capacity of CBD staff through a refresher workshop on leasing fundamentals. It will also provide guidance on best practices for drafting and finalizing key prudential leasing guidelines, with ongoing dedicated support. By addressing regulatory challenges, the project aims to improve Djibouti's leasing framework and enhance access to financing for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
