GlobalCorp, a non-banking financial services institution, has signed a cooperation protocol with the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development Agency (MSMEDA) within the framework of government efforts to support SMEs in developing the National economy. This alignment ensures the legitimacy and potential impact of our initiative.
The protocol aims to provide financing worth EGP 450 mn to GlobalCorp by MSMEDA over three years. The funding will be distributed over several stages, where EGP 150 mn will be provided annually, amounting to EGP 75 mn every six months.
This financing comes in parallel with the decisions taken by the Central Bank of Egypt (CBE) which stipulates that total direct and indirect credit facilities and investments in the securitization portfolios of a single financial leasing company shall not exceed 1% of the total portfolio of loans and credit facilities of the Bank. This is without prejudice to the instructions of the maximum limits for a single client and the parties associated.
In this context, Hatem Samir, Chairman of GlobalCorp said, “The new protocol contributes to enhancing GlobalCorp’s capabilities to support small, medium, and micro enterprises, which contribute to the development of the National economy,” adding that GlobalCorp has emerged as one of the three best financial leasing and factoring companies in Egypt. The successful addition of consumer and real estate financing services has strengthened the company’s position as a comprehensive financial force.

And help GlobalCorp in its strategy to further support and finance SMEs.
