    Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) on Tuesday, released guidelines for registration and supervision of Credit Guarantee Companies (CGCs) in Nigeria.

    The guidelines are contained in a circular by Ibrahim Tukur, director, Financial Policy and Regulation Department, CBN, addressed to Commercial Banks, Other Financial Institutions and Stakeholders in the Financial Services Industry.

    Tukur said that the guidelines were in furtherance of efforts to improve lending for Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs).

    “An exposure draft of the guidelines is hereby issued for comments and observations. The document may be obtained from the CBN’s website, www.cbn.gov.ng,’’ the director said.

    He urged stakeholders to send their comments and observations on the guidelines within three weeks.
