The Development Bank of Nigeria (DBN) was established by the Federal Government of Nigeria (FGN) in collaboration with global development partners, with the primary objective of addressing the significant financing gaps faced by Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in the country. DBN’s mandate is centered on alleviating the financial constraints encountered by MSMEs and small corporates by providing access to sustainable financing and partial credit guarantees. This is achieved through eligible financial intermediaries, including Deposit Money Banks (DMBs) and Microfinance Banks (MFBs), on a market-conforming and financially sustainable basis.
