In a major boost to the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) sector, the Credit Guarantee Scheme for Micro and Small Enterprises (CGTMSE) has approved a credit guarantee of Rs. 1 lakh crore in just 7 months of the current financial year 2023-24.

He said that this achievement is a testament to the government’s unwavering commitment to supporting MSMEs and providing them with access to affordable credit.

CGTMSE has been playing a pivotal role in facilitating credit flow to MSMEs, especially those in the informal sector. The accelerated pace of credit guarantee approvals reflects the government’s proactive measures to facilitate financial support to MSMEs, thereby bolstering their contribution to the nation’s economic development.

Shri Rane further stated that the phenomenal success of CGTMSE can be attributed to the unwavering support and visionary leadership of the Hon’ble Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi Ji. His strategic guidance and dedication to empowering the MSME sector have played a pivotal role in achieving this milestone.

He also congratulated the entire team of CGTMSE and wrote that the achievement of approving a credit guarantee of Rs. 1 lakh crore in just 7 months is a significant milestone for CGTMSE and the MSME sector.
