Cairo – Mubasher: Banque Du Caire considers injecting loans worth EGP 3 billion to small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the current period, the lender’s head of SME banking sector, Nader Saad, told Mubasher.
The bank is currently mulling financing 800 SMEs with about EGP 3 billion, Saad added.
In addition, the state-run bank plans to raise its SME portfolio to EGP 6 billion by the end of 2019 from EGP 4.4 billion at the end of May, he noted.
Funding provided to SMEs accounts for about 16% of the bank’s total credit portfolio, the top official revealed.
More than 90% of the bank’s SME loans are part of the Central Bank of Egypt’s (CBE) initiative, he said.
