Sme Financing Gap Theory and Evidence

The lack of funding available from the financial sector for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) is known as the "financing gap." This timely report analyses this gap for both credit and equity financing and seeks to determine how prevalent such a gap may be, both among OECD countries and non-OECD economies. The report recommends measures to foster an improved flow of financing to SMEs and entrepreneurs. Presented at the OECD Global Conference on "Better Financing for Entrepreneurship SME Growth," held in Brasilia, Brazil in March 2006, the report is essential reading for policy makers and all stakeholders from the financial and business sectors.Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development Staff is the author of 'Sme Financing Gap Theory and Evidence', published 2006 under ISBN 9789264029408 and ISBN 9264029400.
