The seminar gathered more than 60 participants, including policy-makers, financial institutions bankers, representatives of the private sector, think tanks, academia and of civil society from Jordan as well as entrepreneurs and EU experts.
 
Discussions circled around the policies and the measures needed to ease MSME finance constraints and help them to grow, to be more competitive and thereby create jobs. The seminar participants made actionable recommendations, including on public policies, regulatory mechanisms and an enabling environment to enhance financial inclusion for MSMEs in the country.
