Empowering Development
CGFT - Credit Guarantee Fund Tajikistan
CGFT’s mission is to improve access to finance for MSMEs in Tajikistan by providing credit guarantees and technical assistance to PFIs such as banks and micro-finance institutions.
Credit Guarantees for access to finance
Credit guarantees cover 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 are dedicated to strengthening the capacity of its PFIs for better, more efficient and accessible coverage of MSME lending. CGFT’s tailor-made TA programs are designed according to the requirements and distinct strengths and weaknesses of each PFI. Each program is unique, comprehensive and readily implementable.
CGFT is dedicated to improving access to finance for the MSME sector as a means of driving macroeconomic growth. CGFT’s credit guarantees help promising MSMEs realize their full growth potential, spur job creation and enhance incomes for everyday communities.
