Project Description

The project delivers a combination of short-term interventions and long-term coaching and support, depending on the specific country’s needs, to develop and improve credit bureaus. The objective is to foster the development of private credit bureaus in emerging markets to facilitate the extension of credit to previously underserved segments of the population, in particular small businesses, and to strengthen the financial sectors in the target countries and contribute to sustainable economic growth.
