The Supply Chain Finance Program (SCFP) provides guarantees and loans, mostly through SCFP partner banks, to support small and medium sized businesses (SMEs) operating in supply chains. SCFP aims to increase access to supply chain finance in developing Asia, including in countries when supply chain finance does not exist or is in its infancy. SCFP seeks to encourage financial institutions to move deeper into the supply chain by providing support to SMEs earlier in the business cycle. More information can be found at www.adb.org/scfp.

| Linkage to Country/Regional Strategy | SCF is linked to the ADB Financial Sector Operational Plan, to various strategies and business opportunities presented in country partnership strategies, regional cooperation strategies (i.e., Greater Mekong Subregion and South Asia Subregional Economic Cooperation), and country operations business plans. A review of these documents underscores the importance of trade finance capacity development in DMCs to enable ADB to meet its development objectives. |
