Regionaler KKMU-Investmentfonds für SSA - REGMIFA II (THB) Regional MSME Investment Fund for SSA II Der regionale MSME Investment Fund for Sub-Saharan Africa (REGMIFA) ist eine vom KfW und BMZ ausgehende und im Rahmen des G8-Gipfels 2007 in Heiligendamm beschlossene internationale Initiative. REGMIFA zielt darauf ab, das begrenzte Angebot an Lokalwährungsfinanzierungen in Subsahara-Afrika zu verbessern, indem es langfristige Kredite in Lokalwährung für afrikanische Finanzinstitute bereitstellt, um Finanzierungsmöglichkeiten für kleine und mittlere Unternehmen (KMU) in der Region zu schaffen. Durch die Stärkung des lokalen KMU-Finanzierungssektors soll REGMIFA zur wirtschaftlichen Entwicklung beitragen und die Ziele der nachhaltigen Armutsreduzierung gemäß den SDGs 1 und 8 unterstützen. Ergänzend zum Kreditfonds besteht eine Technical Assistance Facility (TAF), die mit zielgerichteter personeller Untersützung punktuelle Schwächen von Partnerfinanzinstituten beseitigt und somit die Nachhaltigkeit der Finanzierungsmaßnahmen unterstützt An dem 2010 gegründeten Fonds hält die KFW eine Treuhandbeteiligung in Höhe von EUR 35 Mio. mit einem Erstinvestment von EUR 15 Mio. aus 2010, das 2020 um EUR 20 Mio. aufgestockt wurde. Der TAF wurden über die KfW aus Haushaltsmitteln 2010 EUR 2 Mio. und 2020 EUR 5 Mio. als Zuschuss gewährt Die 2016 eingegangene KfW-Förderbeteiligung über USD 13 Mio. wurde bis Ende 2023 vollständig zurückgeführt. Per Ende 2023 betrug das ausstehende Kreditportfolio des Fonds USD 178 Mio. in 24 afrikanischen Ländern. Über 54 Partnerfinanzinstitute konnten rund 226.000 KMU als Endkreditnehmer erreicht werden, wovon rund ein Drittel Frauen waren. The Regional MSME Investment Fund for Sub-Saharan Africa (REGMIFA) is an international initiative launched by KfW and BMZ and agreed at the 2007 G8 Summit in Heiligendamm. REGMIFA aims to improve the limited supply of local currency financing in Sub-Saharan Africa by providing long-term local currency loans to African financial institutions to create financing opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the region. REGMIFA aims to contribute to economic development and the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SGDs 1 and 8) on poverty reduction, by strengthening the local SME finance sector. In addition to the loan fund there is a technical assistance facility (TAF) which offers focused personal training to partner financial institutions tackling their eventual weaknesses to ensure the sustainability of the financing measures. In the fund set up in 2010, KfW holds a fiduciary investment of EUR 35 million with a first capital endowment of EUR 15 million in 2010 which was topped up by EUR 20 million in 2020. The TAF received grants from the Government budget through KfW of EUR 2 million in 2010 and EUR 5 million in 2020. The KfW investment from its own funds of USD 13 million from 2016 was paid back by the end of 2023. At the end of 2023, the fund had an outstanding loan portfolio of USD 178 million in 24 African countries. Some 226,000 SMEs were reached as final borrowers through more than 54 partner financial institutions, about one third of them were women.
