Community Development Finance Institutions
The question
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, if she will visit a community development finance institution within the next six months.
Answered by Lucy Rigby
Community development finance institutions (CDFIs) play an important role in supporting access to credit. My predecessor was pleased to chair a roundtable in July 2025 attended by banks and CDFIs, to discuss the barriers to achieving greater growth for CDFIs providing personal lending products. I am looking forward to a similarly productive discussion when I meet the Chief Executive of Responsible Finance later this Spring.
