SMEs provide 2/3 of formal jobs in the private sector in emerging markets
SMEs consider access to finance and power as the leading constraints
Formal SME credit gap remains as large as ever at ~ $ 1 Trillion
Today 55-68% of formal SMEs in emerging markets are either unserved or underserved
82-86% (~ 0.8-0.9 Tn) of total credit gap of formal SMEs in emerging markets is represented by formal SMEs that already have a deposit account
Worldwide majority of woman-owned formal SMEs are unserved or under-served
But financial institutions face 6 main challenges when lending to SMEs
….. And banks need capacity to address these challenges
Global Trends: Shifting the Financial Inclusion Frontier Forward
Financial infrastructure is a critical building block for SME financial inclusion
Credit reporting systems
reduce information asymmetries, support
efficient credit allocation and strengthen risk management
Payment and settlement systems facilitate access to
financial services and the safe transfer of
funds. PS can mitigate financial crises by
reducing settlement risks
Secured transactions systems and
collateral registries reduce risk to
lenders, facilitate access to credit, and
promote credit diversification
A solid Financial
Infrastructure serves both
Inclusion and Stability
