Commitment to SMEs
A Strong Commitment to Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs)
The Tunisian Investment Fund places small and medium-sized enterprises at the heart of its mission, recognising them as a key driver of economic growth, job creation and regional development.
Through its interventions, the FTI works to expand SMEs’ access to financing and support value-creating projects, particularly where conventional financial solutions are insufficient.
Support Areas
An Integrated Approach Throughout the Business Lifecycle
As part of its mandate, the Fund implements a broad range of interventions in support of SMEs, including:
- Facilitating access to financing at every stage of the business lifecycle;
- Supporting investment and reinforcing competitiveness;
- Financing projects that generate economic and social impact;
- Strengthening business resilience in the face of economic challenges;
- Developing alternative, innovative and diversified financing mechanisms.
These interventions form part of an integrated, complementary approach carried out alongside other actors within the financial ecosystem, thereby helping to reduce the financing gaps faced by SMEs.
The Tunisian Investment Fund’s interventions span project financing across the full business lifecycle, as illustrated in the diagram below.
