What does this programme cover?

SME lending stalls when viable small firms cannot show audited accounts or pledge enough collateral, and lenders price the gap as risk rather than information. Credit guarantee schemes can close it, yet many pay claims on loans that would have been made anyway, attract adverse selection or lose money through weak claim rules. This Core Concept course equips SME bankers, development finance and guarantee fund teams to assess thin-file SMEs, set coverage ratios, fees and eligibility, share risk with partner banks and track results. Participants produce a Guarantee Scheme Design Note and an SME Portfolio Monitoring Dashboard.
