Risk is often what stands between small businesses in emerging markets and the capital they need to grow. In this episode of IFC Trendlines, Mahfuza Afroz, IFC's Global Head of Credit Insurance, Syndicated Loans and Mobilization, sits down with Daniel Riordan, Head of Political Risk, Credit & Surety at MSIG USA - one of the world's largest insurance groups - to explore how credit insurance is reshaping development finance.

IFC's latest Managed Co-Lending Portfolio Program (MCPP) for credit insurers is a $6 billion facility backed by 19 global insurers. Daniel shares what drew MSIG USA to the program as a first-time participant, and how such partnerships facilitate capital flows to small businesses in emerging markets.
