INVESTORS IN DEBT - LENDERS

Three (3) key segments for this category:

1. LOCAL FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS mainly commercial banks & microfinance institutions that provide financing in form of short and long term loans.
2. LOANS GUARANTORS who are generally public institutions or development agencies who provide collateral to lenders on behalf of borrowers without enough collateral to offer in order to get access to classic loans
3. FOREIGN LENDERS who can be private companies or multilateral lending institutions who generally provide long term loans financing and in foreign currencies (mainly USD)
