In times of crisis, access to finance is more important than ever, making investments into inclusive finance funds is even more impactful than under normal circumstances. These funds alone won't be able to solve the problem, though. Microfinance institutions and SME banks will continue to need liquidity and their financial stability is of uttermost importance when it comes to reboot economies post COVID-19. The immediate need for liquidity for millions of small companies cannot and will not be provided by the banking sector alone, neither in developed nor in developing countries. Intelligently designed special emergency liquidity measures will be needed to support the real economy and maintain the financial sector infrastructure that has been built over the last decades.
