Emefiele said that was why the Bank devoted critical resources by way of intervention in the N220 billion Agriculture, Micro, small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) and in the area of infrastructure.

These interventions, he said included the Agricultural Credit Guarantee Scheme Fund (ACGSF), Commercial Agricultural Credit Scheme (CACS), among others noting that these interventions was not intended to crowd out financial institutions in credit delivery, but rather as incentives to propel lending at reasonable rates to the real sector.
