The Development Bank of Nigeria (DBN) was established by the Federal Government of Nigeria in partnership with global development institutions to address the financing challenges faced by Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). DBN provides wholesale funding, partial credit guarantees, and technical assistance to eligible financial intermediaries, aiming to foster inclusive economic growth and job creation. By supporting over 37 million MSMEs that contribute more than 50% of Nigeria’s GDP, DBN plays a catalytic role in strengthening the financial ecosystem and promoting sustainable development.
