On the basis of a current business world buzz, the Worldbank has recently come up with a brand new initiative. According to this, a financial help related deal has been made to give a Loan for the MSME Project.
CORONA Virus has juggled our lives. The impact is deeply felt by people from all walks of life. All sorts of sectors are heavily influenced by the market downfall as the pandemic is booming. COVID19 pandemic’s impact on MSME is really devastating. The Micros, Small and Medium Enterprises are the building blocks for a developing nations’ economy. An MSME license provides Government support in the form of incentives, subsidies and a lower rate of interest.
MSME plays an important role in India’s GDP. It contributes about 30% of India’s GDP. This loan is basically for reconstruction and development. It will help to confront with pandemic and help 1.5 million MSME in liquidity and credit needs. The maturity period of this loan is 19 years with a 5 year grace period.
The Worldbank has approved a loan 750 million for MSME and is thus supporting India’s emergency response for COVID19 and new projects. This is the third time when the Worldbank is extending its support for India. The first was in April for India’s health sector, then in May to increase cash transfer and now for MSME Development. This loan will help the project to withstand the impact of COVID and protect millions of jobs in India.
