Listen "Kenya plans to unlock micro, small & medium enterprises (MSME) financing"
Episode Synopsis
This podcast featured Lemuel Mangla, the Head of Policy and Compliance at CIS Kenya, and MSC’s BFS Specialist Kim Kariuki. They discussed the monumental changes in Kenya’s credit scoring system. The government is moving the financial industry from blacklisting to a graduated model that allows even those with poor scores to access credit. More than 4 million Kenyans can now access formal credit with this move, which will likely accelerate post-pandemic recovery and improve liquidity for women-led MSMEs.
Lemuel and Kim delve deeper into this conversation to unpack what the implications of this move would mean for access to credit in the country.
