Small Business Impact Fund (SBIF)

Overview

In 2015, the Bank established the Small Business Impact Fund (SBIF) to support the Small Business Initiative with a more streamlined and effective architecture for donor funds. SBIF is bringing together donor funds and directing them to financing, advisory and policy dialogue activities to support small and medium-sized enterprises in the EBRDs countries of operations. By pooling donor resources under one umbrella, the SBIF is an effective, efficient and flexible instrument that allows for a more targeted allocation of resources and maximises the impact of individual contributions.
They cover a wide range of regions and products, including the EBRDs flagship Women in Business programme, the Blue Ribbon programme, the Risk Sharing Framework, the Star Venture programme and others. The Fund has raised over €72 million in donor support, which has had a tangible impact on their SME clients
