Government Sponsored Enterprise Funds and Other Investment Funds Focusing on the NIS Region

ENTERPRISE FUNDS AND INVESTMENT FUNDS

As commercial opportunities continue to emerge in the NIS, it is necessary to develop new and creative means of financing. The U.S. government is responding to these needs by assisting in the development of enterprise funds. The purpose of these enterprise funds is to address the general unavailability of foreign and domestic capital to private and privatizing firms. By linking western investors with NIS companies, these funds will help demonstrate that investment in NIS can be profitable and sustainable over the long run.
