Description

Description

The objective of the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprise (MSME) Financing Facility Project is to catalyze financing, risk-sharing and technical assistance to address policy, legal, institutional, capacity, and informational constraints holding back MSME access to finance in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, and thereby to support improvements in MSME employment, competitiveness, and incomes. MSME facility: a comprehensive package of financing and support will be provided or leveraged through a MSME facility for the MENA region, jointly with the International Finance Corporation (IFC). The MSME facility will include: i) International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) Adaptable Program Loan (APL); ii) the IFC's risk sharing facility for Small and Medium enterprises (SMEs); iii) the joint World Bank-IFC technical assistance component; and iv) support to innovative and high potential SME. Policy Lending to improve the enabling environment for MSME finance will complement the MSME facility in the region. the APL provides a structure for rolling out country level financial intermediary loans (FILs) in the MENA region, complemented by regional technical assistance. Country level FILs can include a line of credit component and a contingent credit (risk sharing) component, so that the most appropriate instrument can be used in each market to stimulate MSME finance.
