Abstract
This chapter provides an overview of Credit Guarantee Schemes in Scoreboard countries. The evidence on public schemes provided in the country profiles is complemented by information on private guarantee schemes as well as mixed guarantee schemes (public-private). The chapter sets this evidence within a conceptual framework, discussing the rationale of credit guarantee systems and illustrating the diversity of CGSs, in terms of ownership structure, funding, programme design and operational characteristics. It explores these dimensions in specific credit guarantee schemes in Scoreboard countries and reviews the main policy measures introduced during the crisis to support credit guarantee operations. The chapter then addresses structural and emerging challenges for the effectiveness and sustainability of these schemes. For this purpose, key dimensions for evaluation and performance indicators are examined. The chapter concludes with policy considerations.
