Research and development activities (RD) have 3 objectives:
- Broaden the level of knowledge on credit guarantee schemes with a
particular attention on Southern Mediterranean ones; - Provide tailored expertise on the desirability and feasibility of
new guarantee instruments for MSMEs in the Southern Mediterranean such as
equity guarantees and counter guarantee funds; - Propose evidence-based policy options to enhance CGS performance,
outreach and operating environment taking into account Euro-Mediterranean
cooperation frameworks.
The Euro-Mediterranean Guarantee Network (EMGN) is promoted by the Euro-Mediterranean Economists Association (EMEA), the European Institute of the Mediterranean (IEMED) and with the support of Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ).
