General description of organisation
SIFEM, the Swiss Investment Fund for Emerging Markets, serves as Switzerland’s Development Finance Institution (DFI). Established in 2011 as a public limited company fully owned by the Swiss Confederation, SIFEM plays a key role in Switzerland's international cooperation strategy. SIFEM provides long-term financing to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in developing and emerging countries through local financial intermediaries. By doing so, SIFEM aims to reduce poverty while fostering sustainable, inclusive, and resilient economies. Its focus also extends to tackling the root causes of climate change and enhancing communities' resilience to its effects.
