Book Description
While a considerable amount of literature has been produced in the past decades on the overall experience of using partial credit guarantee schemes (PCGS) to overcome the credit gap in developing agriculture, what is still lacking nowadays is a structured and rigorous empirical evidence demonstrating the concrete impact of PCGS specifically established to unlock financing for agricultural SMEs. Most case studies available today only provide a descriptive analysis of the results, constraints and features of agriculture-specific PCGS, while lacking an impact evaluation approach (either fully experimental or quasi/non-experimental) whose findings could also be used to properly inform the design of future facilities and related policies. This working paper has been developed to assist in overcoming the current gap in empirical data on the impact of agricultural PCGS, by providing interested readers (whether policymakers, the academia, development agencies, or other stakeholders) with key information on technical and operational aspects of impact evaluations of credit guarantee schemes in agriculture, as well as recommendations on the feasibility of carrying out such evaluations with the aim of generating evidence on a more systematic basis. The hope is that public stakeholders interested in carrying out a proper impact evaluation of an agriculture-focused guarantee scheme can use the materials provided by this publication as a reference point for their work.

Credit Guarantees

Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 154
Book Description
The problem of collateral is a daily issue for lenders and causes much debate in the development finance community. Given the difficulties experienced in arranging traditional forms of loan security, such as land or chattel mortgages, various collateral substitutes have been proposed. Among the substitutes for traditional collateral is the loan guarantee. Guarantee systems for loans have been proposed, planned and implemented in various countries. The assumption made by proponents of such a service is that the guarantee organization is either better informed about the risk of the loan than the lender or it is better structured financially to be able to manage the risk. Despite the apparent attractiveness of a loan guarantee, the empirical evidence available gives little encouragement. Nevertheless, interest in guarantees continues.

Credit Guarantees
Author: Asian Development Bank
Publisher:
ISBN: 9789292575717
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 42
Book Description
Transaction reforms in eight Pacific Island countries have shown the value in ""movable"" assets such as machinery, inventory, and accounts receivable for use as collateral in borrowing. They can benefit businesses and financial institutions that offer business loans. Yet, despite these reforms, financial institutions remain unwilling to lend. Businesses still find it hard to access the credit they need to grow, which in turn creates jobs and drives the economic activity needed in the Pacific. Credit guarantees are often proposed as an instrument to overcome this problem. However, as this report finds, there is no strong theoretical justification for their use.
