The EBRD is providing a senior loan of US$ 4 million to Microfund for Women (MFW) for on-lending to support the development of larger, expanding microfinance enterprises in Jordan, with a focus on women entrepreneurs.

This investment will allow MFW to extend the remit of its lending to include loans for growing microfinance clients until these clients are eligible for full access to the commercial banking system. The EBRD loan will also be partly used to finance the existing microfinance clients of MFW.
