🆕 Swedfund International and Finnfund have made their first direct investment in Nepal's banking sector by providing USD 10 million each to Siddhartha Bank Limited. This investment will support MSMEs, agriculture, agribusiness, and hydropower development in Nepal. “There is limited access to long-term funding in Nepal and as a Development Finance Institution, we can also further enhance Siddhartha Bank’s environmental and social governance, as well as impact work, which makes this investment important." - Jane Niedra, Investment Director, Financial Inclusion at Swedfund. The loan will support gender equality and women’s empowerment, with at least 30% of the loan proceeds being allocated to women-led businesses. The Bank has developed tailor-made products for women entrepreneurs and currently 41% of its clients are women. 👉 Read more: https://bit.ly/48cL7lN #Swedfund #Finnfund #Nepal #FinancialInclusion #GenderEquality #RenewableEnergy #DFI #DevelopmentFinanace
