International Finance Corporation (IFC), in partnership with the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), is set to launch a National Collateral Regis­try (NCR) in June.

Project Manager of the IFC, Ubong Awah, disclosed this at a three-day workshop on the N220 billion Micro, Small and Medium Enter­prises (MSMEs) Develop­ment Fund in Lagos recently.

Speaking during his pre­sentation on, “Collateral Reg­istry and MSME Financing,” he noted that the planned col­lateral registry would help to stabilise the MSME financ­ing and also boost the confi­dence of Nigerian banks to play active roles in financing the sector.

According to him, the MSME sector is an important catalyst for economic growth and financing the sector needs serious attention.

He said, “as an organisa­tion, the IFC is bringing the experience we have garnered over the years across geog­raphies to bridge the knowl­edge gaps and to lay empha­sis on the fact that globally, collateral for the MSME is moving away from fixed as­sets to movable assets, hence the need to establish a collat­eral registry for the financial industry. We are excited to partner the central bank on this initiative.”

Meanwhile, CBN’s Direc­tor, Development Finance Department, Dr. Mudashiru Olaitan, said the workshop was organised to cross-fer­tilise ideas and bridge the knowledge gap about the MSME sector by the lending institutions and correct the wrong perception of the risky nature of the sector.

Olaitan, who was repre­sented by Mr. Tobin Jonathan, the Assistant Director, MSME Development Fund, said, “the rejection rate of the MSME application by commercial banks is very high. We are aware this is necessitated by the banks’ aversion to risk due to lack of entrepreneurial skills and poor governance structure of most MSMEs, hence the need for the work­shop to enlighten the bankers and encourage them more on the need to partner us on the need to grow the sector.”

According to him, the MSMEs are the engine room for economic growth, vehicle for job creation, tools for pov­erty alleviation and wealth creation for any country’s economy.

Also speaking, Mrs. Amina Umar, Assistant Director, De­velopment Finance, CBN, said since the N220 billion MSME intervention fund was launched in 2014, the uptake by the Deposit Money Banks (DMBs) had not been encour­aging.

“There is then the need to interact with the SME officers of banks to understand the banks’ challenges in MSME financing,” she said.

According to her, it is the hope of CBN that with the workshop, more than 50 per cent of the fund would have been accessed by the end of 2015 in compliance with the target set by the Bankers’ Committee and driven by the economic development, sus­tainability and gender panel chaired by Mrs. Bola Adesola, who is also the Managing Director, Standard Chartered Bank.
