Chamber President Dr Erick Rutto recently held strategic discussions with Equity Group CEO Dr. James Mwangi aimed at enhancing access to finance for Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), which represent the largest share of KNCCI’s membership and form a vital part of Kenya’s business ecosystem.

Acknowledging the significant role MSMEs play in driving economic growth, we agreed that Equity Bank will extend financial support to KNCCI members engaged in both local and international trade.

The two also explored mechanisms to support businesses facing cash flow challenges due to delayed payments, with Equity considering tailored financial solutions as KNCCI continues its advocacy for the settlement of pending bills by private companies, county governments, and the national government.

The meeting concluded with a firm commitment by both institutions to deepen collaboration in empowering and sustaining Kenya’s MSME sector.
