Financing of small/medium projects carried out by Palestinian small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and mid-caps.
The Facility aims to finance eligible small and medium sized investments undertaken by SMEs and Mid-Caps in Palestine, thereby contributing to economic resilience, employment generating activities and alleviating the economic burden of the Covid-19 crisis in the country. SMEs make up the vast majority of firms in Palestine and, as such, play a vital role in creating and safeguarding employment, especially for young people and women. Access to finance is perceived as one of the biggest obstacles to the expansion of SMEs. The proposed operation is expected to enhance access to finance to SMEs and Mid-Caps, in that it will allow the selected financial intermediaries to make available funding at improved terms and conditions of loans.

The Bank will require the intermediary institution to take all requisite measures to ensure that any procurement procedures carried out by final beneficiaries for the sub-projects that the Bank finances are in accordance with the Bank's Guide to Procurement.
