Introduction"Promotion of Small and Medium Sized Enterprises (SMEs) in Iraq" is a five year project funded by the KFW.
The project aims to provide sustainable access to financial services for already operating but also start-up SMEs in Iraq for an improved job creation with focus on youth and women.

The proposed Project structure combines three components, which are considered necessary for a significant contribution to the financial inclusion of SMEs in Iraq:
(i) SME window established by selected private PFIs through their own capital funds for SMEs.
(ii) an effective credit guarantee scheme: which is critical to overcome the obstacles that SMEs face in securing acceptable collaterals.
(iii) Technical assistance to capacitate the Participating Financial Institutions (PFIs), Iraqi Company for Banking Guarantees (ICBG), as well as the SMEs.
