What public claims are prohibited around banking, credit, guarantees, and public finance?

Participants must not make public claims that imply GRA provides lending advice, credit approval, bankability opinions, bank financing, guarantees, grants, fiscal advice, public finance approval, or public backing. 

Prohibited claims include: 

“GRA-approved loan.” 

“GRA-approved credit.” 

“GRA-certified bankable.” 

“GRA-backed financing.” 

“Bankable through GRA.” 

“GRA arranged bank financing.” 

“GRA introduced us to lenders for financing.” 

“GRA guarantees the project.” 

“GRA-backed guarantee.” 

“GRA-approved grant.” 

“NFD funding approved.” 

“NFD is the national fund.” 

“RNFD regional funding secured.” 

“UNSFD global fund support.” 

“GRA confirms public finance approval.” 

“Public authorities in GRA approved the project.” 

“GRA confirms fiscal support.” 

“GRA supports government budget allocation.” 

“GRA validates debt issuance.” 

“GRA approved the PPP.” 

“Nexus Universe visibility confirms public backing.” 

“National Desk activation means government support.” 

A safe statement, where true, is: 

The matter is being considered in a GRA-related finance-readiness or public finance learning pathway. This does not imply lending advice, credit approval, bankability, financing, grants, guarantees, fiscal advice, public finance approval, public backing, procurement status, or endorsement. 

The rule is absolute: do not convert GRA participation, finance-readiness, NFD, RNFD, UNSFD, National Desk activity, public authority learning, or Nexus Universe visibility into a banking, credit, guarantee, or public finance claim.
