The Project of supporting the financing of small and medium-sized enterprises, implemented to strengthen the SME, is a structural answer of the government to the recurring problem of access of the SME to the financing by facilitating the access of 200 of them to the bank credit through Banks.
The project, on the occasion of its launching ceremony, offered a financing of 350 million FCFA to 35 entrepreneurships.
It will cover a period of 5 years (2009/2013) and will cost more than 2,6 billion FCFA. The financing is assured by the government (595 millions, either 22,08 % of the total cost), the BRS Bank (2 billion FCFA, or 74,21 %) and the beneficiaries (100 million FCFA, or 3,71 %).
It is planned to create a mechanism of financing of 200 loans in SME and similar projects which will be guaranteed by the Fund of company’s development (FDE) and guaranteed by the fund given by the government.

Malian public authorities, aware of the major role that the expatriate Malian play for the development of the Country, introduced the first forum of the investors of the Diaspora, whose purpose was among others:
- to identify the problems linked to the investment of the Diaspora.
- to make known the companies belong to Expatriate Malian.
- to elaborate and adopt a strategy of the development of the entrepreneurship of expatriate Malian.
It was a question to set up a program of valuation of the investment of Expatriate Malian to be a vehicle of growth accelerator.
The forum was the opportunity to evoke the necessity of taking measures to secure the investments and drain towards the productive investments the financial mattering flows that expatriate Malian drain (300 billion FCFA a year that is 79 % of the public help to the development).
