About KCGF

Mission & Values

The principles that guide every guarantee we issue, every partnership we build, and every business we help reach its potential.

Our Purpose

"Të jetë katalizatori kryesor për rritje ekonomike të qëndrueshme në Kosovë — duke siguruar që çdo biznes që meriton financim, ta marrë atë."

The Kosovo Credit Guarantee Fund (KCGF) is a public institution established to unlock access to finance for micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises. By sharing loan risk with financial institutions, KCGF enables lending to businesses that would otherwise be excluded.

Vision
Universal access to finance

Every MSME in Kosovo, regardless of size, sector, or background, should have access to the capital they need to grow and create jobs for their communities.

Mission
Reduce risk. Unlock capital.

By guaranteeing a portion of each loan, KCGF absorbs the risk that prevents banks from lending to early-stage or underserved businesses across all sectors.

Additionality
Greater economic impact

Every KCGF guarantee creates economic impact beyond the transaction — jobs, exports, community investment, and lasting enterprise growth across Kosovo.

Our Principles

Core Values

01
Inclusivity

We are committed to reaching every segment of Kosovo's economy — from rural agricultural businesses to urban start-ups — ensuring no business is left without access to capital.

02
Transparency

Clear processes, published criteria, and open reporting are fundamental to how we work. Every stakeholder — from partner banks to SMEs — knows exactly where they stand.

03
Accountability

As a government-backed institution, we answer to the businesses we serve, the partners we work with, and the citizens of Kosovo. Results matter and we measure them rigorously.

04
Sustainability

We design guarantees with long-term economic health in mind — supporting green economy transitions, climate resilience, and responsible business growth.

05
Partnership

We achieve impact through strong alliances — with financial institutions, development partners, government, and the private sector. Collaboration multiplies every guarantee we issue.

06
Impact-Driven

Every decision we make is measured by its real-world effect on Kosovo businesses, jobs created, exports enabled, and communities strengthened. Impact is not a metric — it is our purpose.

Strategic Direction

2024–2028 Objectives

01
Expand Reach

Grow the number of supported MSMEs by 40% by 2028, with a special focus on underserved sectors — agriculture, women-led enterprises, and rural businesses.

02
Deepen Partnerships

Bring 6 new financial institutions into the KCGF network, expanding guaranteed lending into regions and communities currently underserved by formal banking.

03
Green Economy Transition

Dedicate 25% of new guarantee issuance to climate-smart, sustainable, and green economy investments aligned with Kosovo's national development goals.
