The Bank of Industry (BOI) is a quango under the Federal Ministry of Industry, Trade and Investment, with a primary objective to give financial aids and support for the creation of small scale, medium and large scale projects. The bank as a development bank focuses on helping businesses in the extension, diversification, expansion and evolution of enterprises that seek such aids.
