African Guarantee Fund (AGF) has signed a landmark partnership agreement with Vista Group Holding to accelerate access to finance for small and medium-sized enterprises including women-led businesses in four West African countries: Burkina Faso, The Gambia, Guinea, and Sierra Leone.
This collaboration will see AGF provide a loan portfolio guarantee of USD 50 million to support Vista Group Holding’s lending activities to SMEs across its network in the four target countries. The partnership aims to unlock growth opportunities for West Africa’s SMEs by scaling up SME financing and contributing to economic development in the region.
