introduction
SELA organized the Seminar-Workshop on Financial Inclusion of Micro, Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (MSMEs) in Latin America and the Caribbean, in collaboration with the Ministry of Economy (MINECO) of Guatemala. This event enabled participants to gain knowledge about the advances and prospects of financial inclusion in Latin America and the Caribbean and promoted the recent initiatives that the governments of the region have implemented to enhance and support financing options, such as fintech, and the innovative mechanisms for financing, guarantees, factoring and other financial services with a view to strengthening MSMEs. In addition, this Seminar-Workshop promoted successful cases and best practices that are being developed with the participation of MSMEs, regional organizations and service providers to achieve a broader and more comprehensive financial inclusion.
