The Treasury has revealed plans to set up a company in partnership with financial institutions to de-risk lending to small businesses, including those who graduate from the Hustler Fund, by commercial banks.

The proposed Kenya Credit Guarantee Scheme Company (KCGSC) will guarantee a share of the loans commercial banks will advance to cash-strapped micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs).
