The Treasury has allocated an additional Sh10 billion to the Hustler Fund as it targets expanding its offering beyond personal unsecured loans to insurance in the near future.

The allocation for the year starting July is half the current Sh20 billion budget for the financial inclusion fund, which offers low-value unsecured loans, at an annualised interest of eight percent repayable in two weeks.
