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

with market-based development investments.
Jointly with a research partner we have conducted
a study to identify paths and possible next steps.
