Panel Session 1: The Public Policy Rational for Guarantee Schemes for SME Finance

The document is not available in your language.

Well-designed policy interventions may be justified in periods where governments try to strengthen financial infrastructure and the regulatory framework. It may be also justified in cases where some groups remain difficult to reach, or where there is a systemic collapse of financial intermediation by private agents.  Ultimately, guaranteed schemes can improve the quality of the enabling environment that further enhances the SME finance frontier.

This panel session will explore the policy rational for investing in guarantee schemes and the different approaches for PCG schemes depending on the underlying objectives.

Moderation by Roberto Rocha from the World Bank
