Malaysian banks, financial institutions, and digital platforms—Mastercard and the Asian Development Bank (ADB) want to collaborate with you to channel $1 billion in financing to underserved MSMEs across the Asia-Pacific. Backed by a $5 million grant, this initiative aims to help institutions develop innovative products and build capacity to bridge critical gaps in MSME financing.

From prioritising women-led businesses and climate-focused initiatives to envisioning a more inclusive and sustainable future for MSMEs, in this episode of Enterprise Explores, we speak to Subhashini Chandran, Senior Vice President for APAC, Europe, Middle East, and Africa at the Mastercard Center for Inclusive Growth, about the $2.5 trillion MSME financing gap in the region and explore how this partnership plans to address systemic barriers.
