Description
Objectives

Capped partial portfolio guarantee to a selected financial intermediary to support financing of investments undertaken by small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Jordan, thereby contributing to economic resilience in a country that has been severely impacted by external shocks such as the Syrian refugee crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic.

The primary objective of the operation is to enhance access to finance for Jordanian small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) through improved terms and conditions, especially reduced collateral requirements, lower financing costs and longer maturities. It will encourage the intermediary in reaching out to underserved and vulnerable groups of the Jordanian society, including women, youth and refugees, and sustain support to clients affected by the COVID-19 crisis.

Environmental aspects
