AFI is organizing the SME Finance and Financial Inclusion Data Working Group Webinar “Harnessing MSME Data for An Effective MSME Policy Development” on 28 April 2020 at 1:00 PM (UTC). This webinar is for the primary and alternate members of the SMEF and FID working group only.
 
MSMEs play a huge role in facilitating economic development, from job, GDP and export. Despite of their importance, access to financing is still one of the challenges to growth due to shortage of MSME credit data or also known as ‘thin file’ borrowers. A better methodology of MSME data collection and utilization will encourage countries to relook at their financial inclusion indicators for MSMEs and develop better policies in the direction of improvement. 

Please confirm your participation by Sunday, 26 April 2020, 10.00 AM UTC.

We look forward to welcoming you to our next technical webinar.
