Government Guarantee Scheme MADANI (GGSM)

The Government Guarantee Scheme MADANI (GGSM) is a financing initiative introduced by the Malaysian government to support small and medium enterprises (SMEs), micro-enterprises, and informal businesses. The scheme is part of the broader MADANI framework, which focuses on fostering inclusivity, equity, and resilience in Malaysia’s economic development.

Key Features of GGSM:

  1. Government-backed Guarantees: The scheme provides government-backed guarantees on loans or financing extended to SMEs and micro-enterprises, reducing the financial risk for lenders.
  2. Target Beneficiaries: GGSM aims to assist businesses that may face challenges in obtaining conventional financing due to lack of collateral, credit history, or other limitations.
  3. Accessibility: It is designed to be accessible to businesses across various sectors, particularly those impacted by economic uncertainties or transitioning toward more sustainable practices.
  4. MADANI Principles: Aligning with the principles of MADANI, the scheme focuses on empowering underrepresented and vulnerable groups, fostering economic participation, and encouraging growth in sectors aligned with Malaysia’s long-term development goals.
  5. Support for Transition: Businesses are encouraged to adopt sustainability practices, technological advancements, and innovation under this scheme.

Goals:

  • Boost entrepreneurship and innovation.
  • Enhance financial inclusion.
  • Strengthen the resilience of Malaysia’s SME ecosystem.
  • Promote sustainable and inclusive economic growth.

How it Works:

Businesses apply for loans or financing through participating financial institutions. Under GGSM, the government acts as a guarantor for a portion of the loan, which helps reduce the burden on borrowers while encouraging lenders to extend credit more willingly.
