Philippines' Department of Trade and Industry's Financing Programs
The growing number and significant role of micro, small
and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in spurring national
economic growth prompted the compilation and
publication of this handbook on Financing Programs for
Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises.
The implementation of micro financing and SME lending
programs by various institutions is generally recognized
as an essential tool in stimulating entrepreneurial
activities. Through this compendium, the Bureau of Micro,
Small and Medium Enterprise Development (BMSMED)
aims to increase the Filipino entrepreneur’s awareness on
sources of funding available from government and private
sector institutions for his business, and encourage him to
access these facilities based on the capabilities of his
enterprise. This menu of financial services will hopefully
develop and strengthen the ability of MSMEs to better
manage their operational activities and possibly embolden
them to cater to areas beyond their traditional markets.
