PADECO is one of the few Japanese firms that provides consultancy services to manage financial intermediary loans provided based on the financial policy of the partner country. These loans provide funds necessary for the implementation of designated policies, such as the promotion of small and medium-scale enterprises in manufacturing, agriculture, and other specified industries, and the construction of facilities to improve the living standards of the poor. These loans are known as "two-step loans (TSLs)" because under the process, funds pass through two or more financial institutions before the end-beneficiaries receive the funds. PADECO also works on financial inclusion, which enables equal opportunities for individuals and businesses in access to useful and affordable financial products and services that meet their needs. Our specific services include the identification of needs for financing and operations in the target industries / businesses and beneficiaries, socioeconomic impact assessment of the newly introduced financial services, and advisory services for the target industries/businesses and beneficiaries concerning the use of the financial services.
Many governments of developing countries have been turning to the use of private sector investment to finance large-scale infrastructure development as an alternative to using public finances in the face of increasing national debt.

PADECO has carried out numerous projects for private sector development, providing expertise in areas including the analysis of international competitiveness, introduction of relevant Japanese experience with industrial development, application of cluster approaches for strategic industries, and use of practical approaches to overcoming current constraints.
