Credits for Merchants in Tianguis and Markets on Wheels

This is a Fondeso program aimed at meeting the credit needs of economic agents who participate in the marketing channels for perishable and basic consumption products of the capital’s population, for the improvement and modernization of their activities.

The loan aims to provide support to people over 18 years of age who carry out economic activities with this type of scheme in Mexico City, and who are seeking financing for their business.
