In a statement made available to the public, Diamond Bank Plc has confirmed the disbursement of N1 billion loan to micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

The bank said its retail strategy led to the fund disbursement to small business owners under the cash flow-based SME lending scheme in partnership with the Women’s World Banking.

“The global economy is currently witnessing a shift in trade relations alongside continued interest rate adjustments. This has led to greater volatility across markets and increasingly fragile economies.

“The Nigerian economy has not been immune to certain headwinds; so that while the economy recorded quarters of expansion, the rate of growth has weakened. However, against this backdrop, our digital-led retail strategy has remained robust.” The Chief Executive Officer, Diamond Bank, Uzoma Dozie was quoted.

According to Dozie, through the strategy, the bank had been able to continue scaling up by reaching a wide pool of customers both cost-effectively and efficiently.

Small and Medium-sized Enterprises make a significant contribution to the socio-economic and political infrastructure of developed and developing countries. The ability of SMEs to develop, grow, sustain and strengthen themselves is heavily dependent on their capacity to access and manage finance.

While many SMEs face a lot of challenges acquiring loans from banks, the ability to access finance is a major factor affecting the growth and success of SMEs.
