Prime Bank, Bangladesh Bank Join Forces to Empower Women Entrepreneurs1 min read

Fostering women entrepreneurship in Bangladesh, Prime Bank has entered into a strategic partnership with Bangladesh Bank to leverage a Credit Guarantee scheme, facilitating collateral-free credit and improved access to finance for women entrepreneurs.

Under the umbrella of Bangladesh’s comprehensive refinance scheme for Cottage, Micro, and Small Enterprises (CMSEs), Prime Bank has joined forces with Bangladesh Bank to empower women entrepreneurs. The initiative, which focuses on providing collateral-free credit, aims to lower barriers to entry and promote the growth of women-led businesses.

This collaborative effort is part of Bangladesh Bank’s broader strategy to stimulate economic growth by supporting CMSEs, with a particular focus on empowering women entrepreneurs. The Credit Guarantee scheme offers a safety net for lenders, encouraging them to extend credit to women-owned businesses without the need for traditional collateral.

Prime Bank officials underscored the significance of this initiative, emphasizing its potential to unlock opportunities for women entrepreneurs and drive inclusive economic growth. By providing easier access to finance, the scheme aims to unleash the entrepreneurial spirit of women across Bangladesh, enabling them to thrive in the business landscape.

The partnership between Prime Bank and Bangladesh Bank represents a concerted effort to address the challenges faced by women entrepreneurs in accessing financing. By offering collateral-free credit and streamlining the lending process, the Credit Guarantee scheme opens doors to new opportunities and paves the way for the empowerment and economic advancement of women in Bangladesh. As the initiative takes flight, it is poised to make a tangible impact on the landscape of entrepreneurship, driving sustainable development and fostering a more inclusive economy.
