It has 12 member countries with 17 member institutions. The objective of ACSIC is to promote the sound development of the credit supplementation system for small businesses in the countries in Asia, excluding areas in the west and north of Pakistan, through exchange of information, discussions and interchange of personnel among small business credit supplementation institutions. The ACSIC aims to achieve this objective through the conduct of its annual conference and training program.
