This is just one of many findings from our recent survey of capital managers that target SGBs in emerging markets, helping us to better understand the impact of the pandemic and a pathway forward. Read the full results here: frontierfinance.org/resources
Before the onset of #COVID19 and mandated lock-downs, the SGBs that local capital providers were investing in were healthy. Between September 2019-March 2020: ✅ 64% were experiencing >10% revenue growth ✅ 53% were experiencing >10% growth in operating cash flows
