Small and medium business owners are set to get cheaper loans following the signing of yet another multi-million- shilling credit guarantee between a Kenyan lender and an affiliate of African Development Bank (AfDB).

Sharia-based Gulf African Bank signed the Sh100 million loan on Monday. The funding by the African Guarantee Fund (AGF) — an affiliate of AfDB — will provide more funds for lending to SME at nearly half the average market rate.
