The G20 Global Partnership for Financial Inclusion (GPFI) released a summary and presentations from the second webinar in its series on implementing the G20 GPFI Action Plan on MSME Financing, hosted online by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) with the International Finance Corporation (IFC), the World Bank and the SME Finance Forum. The session reviewed ongoing initiatives, challenges and proposed actions, and shared country practices aligned with the Action Plan’s two-pillar framework on enabling environments and targeted interventions. Japan presented the Enterprise Value Charge, a secured-lending framework that creates a single, registerable security interest over all company assets, including intellectual property and future cash flows, with court-supervised enforcement and an expected effective date in Spring 2026. Colombia showcased its Confecámaras-managed online movable-collateral registry and fast default resolution mechanisms, citing more than 2.5 million secured transactions and 221,970 enforcement cases handled between 2015 and 2024, and detailed the National Guarantee Fund, which provides 50% to 90% coverage and mobilised COP 52 trillion (USD 12.5 billion) in credit between August 2022 and May 2025. In Türkiye, an innovation investment support programme (October 2017 to June 2025) offered 60% project funding up to TRY 10 million and delivered more than TRY 500 million to 363 MSMEs, while the World Bank-financed Green Industry Support Program (2023–2029) provides reimbursable support of up to TRY 14 million for solar and TRY 4 million for clean and circular economy investments, supporting 1,736 MSMEs to date. Egypt outlined Central Bank-led measures including a 25% MSME lending quota for banks, simplified “Economic Activity Accounts” for informal businesses, and alternative-data scoring and guarantees, including allowing bank investments in MSME-focused private equity and venture capital funds to count toward the quota, and reported 381% growth in MSME lending portfolios across the banking sector alongside results from the NilePreneur incubation network.
