2 Letter from the Manager I am pleased to announce the incorporation of EPCGF as a Foundation in the Netherlands in August, It has been our intention from the start to establish a permanent legal institution that serves the development objectives of our stakeholders.

The operation of EPCGF will continue as normal with no major changes. We will increase our efforts to create new products to support SMEs in Palestine, which go beyond our program design and to develop entrepreneurship. Our Micro Finance window supporting Micro enterprises through Micro Finance Institutions is also growing and progressing with 5 micro finance partner Institutions and over USD 4 million in Micro Finance guarantees. It is with the continuous support of our stakeholders, partners and staff that we were able to reach this level. We have ambitious plans for growth and diversification in the near future.
