As a key contributor to broad-based economic growth, Chemonics works with the financial sector, businesses, and key government counterparts to increase the availability and affordability of financial services for micro-, small-, and medium-sized enterprises and underserved populations. We support financial institutions to diversify and tailor their financial products to expand their client base, and work with the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation and other development finance institutions to reduce lending risk through loan guarantees. We also partner with host country government ministries, central banks and regulators to develop sound financial sector policies and regulations and establish key institutions like capital markets and credit bureaus, and other key institutions to strengthen financial systems, enhance access to finance, and support sustainable economic development.
