Gaining insight into the dynamics of access to finance
CBCS conducts research on microcredits issued to SMEs in Curaçao
Willemstad/Philipsburg - Little is known about the effectiveness and impact of microcredit loans issued to small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Curaçao. For that reason, the Centrale Bank van Curaçao en Sint Maarten (CBCS) is conducting a study to deepen the understanding of the microcredit market in Curaçao and assess if and how microcredit loans can be improved as a financial instrument. To this end, on Monday, May 20, 2024, businesses that have obtained a microcredit loan will receive an invitation from their financial institution to participate in an online survey. The survey is anonymous, and all collected data and information will be treated strictly confidential.
