The aim of the investment is to boost competitiveness in the small and medium enterprise finance market while also improving financial inclusion, creating jobs, and supporting the nation's climate goals. 

This impactful collaboration will promote financial inclusion by addressing the specific needs of female customers in the banking sector through in-depth market research, a robust Customer Value Proposition, and strategic linkages with Sri Lankan women and women-owned Small and Medium Enterprises.

By this intervention, the average income of women is expected to rise by at least 30 percent.

The proceeds from the bond will be dedicated exclusively to providing loans to female entrepreneurs in India.
