Mitigating risks of private-sector investments in SMEs in the developing world

More effective and readily available risk mitigation mechanisms are probably one of the most powerful ways to alleviate poverty, by increasing the investment flows to small and medium-sized enterprises that provide employment and basic goods and services in low-income regions worldwide.

Today, there is a lack of suitable insurance schemes for investments in small and medium-sized enterprises that require funding in the range of 50,000 to 1 million USD.

To assist in closing this gap in international development finance, we:
We assist in mobilising public-private risk-limitation options: insurance or guarantees
We offer to help review commercial and public-private partnership insurance that reduce risks associated with market-based development investments.

Jointly with a research partner we have conducted a study to identify paths and possible next steps.
