  • Summary

  • The Council on Foreign Relations and the McKinsey Global Institute indicated that Nigeria’s gross domestic product could grow by 23% by 2025 if women participated in the economy to the same extent as men.” However, limited access to finance remains a major challenge that prevents women from fully participating in the economy.
    Some of the recommendations made to a financial institution in Nigeria to challenge this narrative include: Simplifying and streamlining the loan application process, Provision of single-digit interest rates for loans given to women entrepreneurs, Facilitate capacity building workshops to ensure women entrepreneurs understand how to apply for loans to start or upscale a business.
