Speaking to Amwal Al Ghad’s Arabic website, SFD Director General Hanaa El Hilaly stated the new targeted finances will go for the micro and small-sized enterprises in a number of governorates alongside remote areas. The finances also aimed at providing the technical and administrative support for the labour-intensive projects, she added.
