  8. Cãrtao BNDES Banks use it: • Lei Geral’s Article 58 • Card fosters client loyalty • Attracts suppliers to bank • Four of five banks are state-owned • Buyers can approach supplier directly – supplier puts transaction through

  9. Cãrtao BNDES: Advantages • BNDES screens suppliers, buyers • Encourages local content • Cuts down red tape • Gets banks to lend via government (though BNDES is very large and very unusual) • Uses internet as platform • Suppliers from existing BNDES fund

  10. Cãrtao BNDES: DTI says • Useful for working capital, overheads • Problem 1: Many micro businesses unbanked, in rural areas, low literacy • Problem 2: Challenge to get banks to enter as risks would be high • Zikode: ‘Need for PPP’

  11. Summary • State must partner more with private sector, banks to reach small businesses through innovative methods • Simplify structure of financing – Khula, NEF, DFIs fall under IDC
