Virtual Roundtable Series on COVID-19 Mitigation Efforts #16 - Deep Dive on Collections and Risk

To contain the negative economic impact of COVID-19, financial institutions have swiftly reviewed their lending protocols, adjusted their risk assessment and debt collection strategies to minimize costs and avoid losses. Credit scoring models have been reviewed and adjusted. The regulators have imposed and, in some cases, subsequently extended mandatory and/or voluntary moratoria on debt collections.
On Thursday, July 9, 2020, at 8 a.m. EDT, a panel discussion with a featured speaker, who is a Global Head of Collections at the Standard Chartered, which operates in 60 countries around the world; and two discussants – a Specialist in Banking Strategy and Risk Assessment from IFC and a Co-founder and Co-CEO of Lidya, a fintech platform working to ease access to finance for SMEs across frontier and emerging markets; will analyze in depth how the unfolding COVID-19 pandemic influenced risk assessment and debt collection since over the past four months.

Virtual Roundtable Series on COVID-19 Mitigation Efforts #15 - The Macro Picture for Small Business
By invitation only
The incidence of COVID-19 cases varies from country to country. However, all businesses are comparatively affected by the risk of the pandemic and the containment measures taken by governments, which result in severely reduced or complete the closure of many business operations. While most large corporations seem to be able to handle the impacts of the crisis, SMEs lack the most needed resources and capital to cope with the disruption. Despite bearing the brunt of the economic impact of COVID-19, SMEs tend to get less help from government agencies.
On Thursday, July 2, 2020, at 8 a.m. EDT, senior executives from development institutions, think tanks, and a former government representative will analyze the macro picture and share their views on what it will take for the SME sector to recover under the current COVID-19 situation.

Virtual Roundtable Series on COVID-19 Mitigation Efforts #14 - Agri SMEs Weathering COVID-19
By invitation only
COVID-19 affected both the real and financial sectors of the economy. SME finance is no exception. However, not all industries were affected equally. Agri SMEs, often designated as essential businesses, have experienced disruptions while accessing inputs and distributing their products due to COVID-19 associated lockdowns and social distancing measures. However, the demand for finance by Agri SMEs appears to be less affected compared to some other sectors. In the agricultural sector, even before the pandemic, farmers and small agribusinesses struggled to obtain the necessary funds they needed to run and maintain their businesses. Based on replies from the SME Finance Forum’s member survey, we are seeing that many financial institutions indicated a greater shift towards digital financial services to address social distancing and expediate delivery of financial services to their Agri SME clients. This means both, new digital financial products for clients and reliance on such technologies to improve internal processes.
On Thursday, June 25, 2020, at 8 a.m. EDT, panelists representing financial institutions from Africa, Europe, and Central Asia, and the Middle East and North Africa regions, will discuss the situation in financing agriculture, and SME agribusinesses during COVID-19, and what new approaches and products their institutions have been using to sustain lending to agriculture.
