Empowering Development in Tajikistan
Credit Guarantee Fund Tajikistan
For nearly 10 years, CGFT has supported the financial sector of Tajikistan and the Tajik MSMEs and has now successfully achieved the developmental mission and goals of its international stakeholders. CGFT has been able to provide valuable products and services to its PFIs and is grateful for their support. CGFT was dedicated to improving access to finance for the MSME sector as a means of driving macroeconomic growth. Its credit guarantees helped promising MSMEs realize their full growth potential, spurred job creation and enhanced incomes for everyday communities in Tajikistan.
Credit Guarantees for access to finance
Credit guarantees have covered a share of the default risk of loans provided by PFIs to their borrowers. Through close collaboration with its PFIs, CGFT’s credit guarantees incentivize the mobilization of underutilized capital – facilitating a more accessible lending environment for both lenders and borrowers in Tajikistan.
Technical Assistance to expand possibilities
CGFT’s TA services were dedicated to strengthening the capacity of its PFIs for better, more efficient and accessible coverage of MSME lending. CGFT’s tailor-made TA programs were designed according to the requirements and distinct strengths and weaknesses of each PFI. Each program was unique, comprehensive and readily implementable.
