According to him: “The campaign is in line with Keystone Bank’s strategic plan to actively support MSMEs in the country.
“A recent report released by the Small and Medium Enterprises Development Agency of Nigeria (SMEDAN) and the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) showed that over 39.65m MSMEs operated in Nigeria as at December 2020. The MSMEs contributed 46.31% to Nigeria’s gross domestic product (GDP) and accounted for 96.7% of businesses in 2020.
“Therefore, the need for support to do more and this is where we come in.
“Keystone Bank will continue to take into consideration factors that could positively impact the Nigerian economy and promote long-term economic growth. Our interventions in MSME will keep strengthening this commitment.”
Over the years, the bank has maintained an active presence in support in MSME. The financial institution has achieved this through the execution of various MSME support schemes, projects, initiatives, master-classes etc.
