Financial institutions face numerous challenges in evaluating Resource Efficient and Cleaner Production (RECP) projects, including complicated loan procedures, undervalued environmental aspects, and a lack of customized financial instruments. Key concerns include insufficient policy frameworks, inadequate fiscal incentives, and the need for bankable investment projects. Strategies such as performance bonuses, risk-sharing products, and enhanced participation of commercial credit providers are essential. Developing innovative credit solutions can increase access to financing and promote sustainable practices within small firms, thereby fostering growth in the RECP sector.
