The private enterprise would be chosen if the apex bank determined that it can influence the economy using “Performance Indicators (KPIs).” The CBN will examine and fund qualifying private sector enterprises in 100 days, with a 100-day rollover period between.

The 100 for 100 PPP initiative is a financial instrument meant to help the flow of funds and investments to firms with the potential to catalyze long-term economic growth, expedite structural change, increase diversification, and boost productivity.
