This brings the total number of financing deals negotiated since 2017 between FMO and Access Bank to four. Through its recently approved N9.635 billion (€20 million) deal, the Hague-based agency is among the key supporters of a Nigerian economy hit by the COVID-19 crisis and falling oil prices. The latest transaction is an unfunded revolving portfolio guarantee – Nasira – to cover loans to Nigerian SMEs affected by the COVID-19 crisis.
