TWIGA Bancorp Limited has so far dished out 2.5bn/- between March and July this year out of its credit portfolio totaling 5bn/- meant to support small and medium enterprises during the current year.
The financial institution’s Director of Business Development, Mr Solomoni Haule, made the revelation when briefing journalists after the launch of an event dedicated Village Community Banks (Vicoba) dubbed “Jijenge” over the weekend.
Mr Haule said the funds were loaned out to groups and individual entrepreneurs, noting that there has been positive response from the small and medium enterprises.
“The remaining 2.5bn/- will be dished out by the end of December this year, I urge entrepreneurs to make use of the arrangement to improve their business undertakings,” he stated.
Adding; “Twiga Bancorp being a government owned institution is committed to provide loans to improve small and medium enterprises which have faced hurdles to access funds from other financial institutions.”
