Description

The Development Credit Authority (DCA) uses partial credit guarantees to mobilize local commercial debt financing in developing countries. Guarantee agreements encourage private lenders to extend financing to underserved borrowers in new sectors and regions and these lenders are more likely to continue lending even when the USAID Guarantee expires. This can be through issuing USAID guarantees for example; Loan Guarantees, Portfolio Guarantees, Portable Guarantees or Bond Guarantees.
