The Loan has a four-year tenor, with two years of grace. The Project involves granting Cresol Sicoper funds to grow its lending portfolio for Micro-, Small- and Medium-Sized Enterprises (“MSMEs”) and low-income individuals. Additionally, advisory services are being designed to help Sistema Cresol (the Company’s network of cooperatives) develop a sustainability strategy.
