Evaluation Study on Impact of Interest Equalisation Scheme (IES)

This survey-based project seeks to assess the effectiveness of the IES scheme in lowering credit costs and improving the competitiveness of eligible MSME exporters. It will specifically analyse the awareness, usage, and impact of the scheme, challenges in accessing its benefits, and broader issues concerning export financing and credit availability for MSMEs. Additionally, the study will propose strategies to enhance the IES and strengthen the export credit ecosystem to facilitate larger export deals and market expansion.
