Details
Women are a driving force for the economies in which they operate. However, women entrepreneurs face a range of financial challenges in realizing their business potential and are less likely than men to have adequate financial services. IFC estimates a US$1.5 trillion finance gap for women-owned micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in emerging economies. Financial institutions in Africa, Latin America, North America, the Middle East, Asia and Europe have innovated to narrow the finance gap and reach these important customer segments, using innovative products and solutions that harness technology, data, and customer-centric value propositions.
To enable the financial sector to better serve women customers including women-owned businesses, IFC’s Banking on Women (BOW) business has developed scalable solutions with partners that involve investments, advisory services and blended finance supported by partners such as Goldman Sachs Foundation.
