Finanzsektorprogramm KKMU-Finanzierung Financial Sector Programm MSME Finance Das Finanzsektorvorhaben mit Usbekistan leistet einen Beitrag zum Ausbau des nachhaltigen Angebots an bezahlbaren Krediten für Kleinst-, kleine und mittlere Unternehmen (KKMU) (Investitionskomponente). Die Consultingleistungen zielen auf die Stärkung von Kapazitäten bei den Partnerfinanzinstitutionen (PFI) und die Intensivierung der Marktintegration von (in-)formellen Unternehmen ab (Begleitmaßnahme). Bislang steht für den usbekischen KKMU-Sektor keine ausreichende, bedarfsgerechte, langfristige Finanzierung zur Verfügung. Das Vorhaben adressiert daher KKMU, um deren Zugang zu Finanzdienstleistungen zu verbessern.Die von Präsident Mirziyoyev Ende 2016 angestoßene Reformpolitik verfolgt das Ziel der schrittweisen Öffnung und Liberalisierung von der usbekischen Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft, wobei die Privatisierung von zuvor staatlichen Unternehmen und Banken im Fokus der Regierungsarbeit steht. Insbesondere der Agrarsektor weist starkes Potential für wirtschaftliches Wachstum auf.Der Projektträger ist das usbekische Agrarministerium. Die Finanzmittel werden an PFI weitergeleitet, welche wiederum den teilnehmenden KKMU Endkredite zur Verfügung stellen. Das Vorhaben umfasst Maßnahmen wie z.B. Auswahl geeigneter PFI durch Wettbewerbsverfahren, Entwicklung eines Trainingskatalogs und Schulungsunterlagen für die unterschiedlichen Bedürfnisse der PFI sowie Durchführungen von Schulungen in den PFI und in Business Development Centern. The financial sector project with Uzbekistan contributes to expanding the sustainable supply of affordable loans for micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) (investment component). The consulting services are aimed at strengthening capacities at the partner financial institutions (PFIs) and intensifying the market integration of (in-)formal enterprises (accompanying measure). So far, the Uzbek MSME sector does not provide sufficient, demand-driven, long-term financing. The project therefore addresses MSMEs in order to improve their access to financial services.The reform policy initiated by President Mirziyoyev at the end of 2016 pursues the goal of gradually opening up and liberalising the Uzbek economy and society, with the privatisation of previously state-owned enterprises and banks being the focus of the government's work. The agricultural sector in particular has strong potential for economic growth.The project executing agency is the Uzbek Ministry of Agriculture. The funds are transferred to PFIs, which in turn provide sub-loans to the participating MSMEs. The project includes measures such as the selection of suitable PFIs through competitive procedures, the development of a training catalogue and training materials for the different needs of the PFIs, and the implementation of training in the PFIs and in business development centres.
