“In the first five months of the year, we registered $5.9 billion in support for Colombian MSMEs, that is, about 40% of the goal set for 2022. The FNG will continue with its objective of continuing to contribute to the consolidation of the reactivation through its guarantees” stated Raúl Buitrago Arias, President of the National Guarantee Fund.
By region, Bogotá accounts for $1.9 trillion in guarantees, followed by Antioquia, Valle del Cauca, Atlántico, Santander and Cundinamarca with $913,000 million; $545 billion; $379 billion; $259,000 million and $220,000 million respectively.

The remaining 22% is distributed in other sectors of the economy.
