FCG assists SMEs and governments in transition in seizing opportunities offered by integrated world economy by providing them access to foreign capital, new markets, value chain development and increased trade.
The adoption of a market economy combined with increased international economic integration have created regional winners and losers in most transition and developing countries. Inefficient financial markets resulting in the lack of availability of equity and credits affects primarily SMEs as well as micro enterprises. Institutionalised support aimed at assisting SMEs and industrial clusters in developing and adapting to the changing world markets is crucial. At the policy-level governments and institutions require support in designing and implementing the conditions leading to a competitive private sector.
FCG strengthens inclusive market systems and provides a series of tailored services in SME business support, innovation and start-up support, SME finance institutions development, privatisation and regulatory advice, business restructuring and promotion, trade, investment and export promotion, IPR, and regulatory policy reform.
