Why attend 7th INTERNATIONAL MENA GUARANTEE CONFERENCE
The Arab Guarantee programs ecosystem consists of many programs in Arab countries. Its membership includes private sectors and public organizations, whether guarantee programs or development banks. Such programs engage in a task of providing guarantees to micro, small and medium enterprises that cannot provide adequate bank guarantees.
Arab guarantee programs supervise assistances related to countries to ensure internal markets plan and deal with financial crises. That is to exchange best practices on a variety of operational cases. To this end, the Arab Guarantee Programs website has been created to organize seminars on selected cases annually and training courses on entrepreneurs’ development, and to clarify programs’ role in providing guarantees to funding entities, providing relevant technical information such as statistics, newsletters and other publications that promote programs’ role in Arab countries.
