The DCFTA Initiative East is a facility aimed at supporting economic growth and employment-generating activities in Georgia, Ukraine and Moldova. The DCFTA facility comprises customised technical assistance to counterpart Financial Institutions (FIs) in the 3 aforementioned countries.
The purposes of this technical assistance operation are as follows:
While larger Financial Institutions (FI) in Kyrgyzstan are now experienced with providing housing loans, some of them will need assistance in establishing adequate products for rural customers. Furthermore, Financial Institutions need to build a solid refinancing base in local currency and therefore need to develop and market savings products (including the contract savings product that shall be implemented by State Mortgage Company (SMC)), taking into consideration the peculiarities of the rural areas.
Like the country’s overall SME sector, the development of the country’s rural SME sector is supported through the 2012-2020 Strategy for the Development of Small and Medium Enterprises and its corresponding Action Plans, which contain a series of measures to improve the sector’s competitiveness using an innovation-based private sector development paradigm.
