Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) face significant financing gaps that stifle innovation and economic growth. The credit gap alone is estimated at dollar 4.5 trillion as of 2017 for emerging markets and developing economies (EMDEs) only. Bank financing has been the traditional source of external financing to SMEs; however, since the global financial crisis that started in 2007, there has been an active debate about the role that capital markets can play in SME financing. This report seeks to enhance practitioners' understanding of the potential role that capital markets can have in SME financing in EMDEs. the report reviews global experiences in the use of capital markets solutions and, more generally, in market-based solutions to expand SME financing with a view to identifying key preconditions and challenges for EMDEs implementing the solutions. The report looks at both indirect and direct mechanisms for SME financing, such as capital markets solutions, lending conditions, instruments such as SME loan securitization and others, as well as both debt and equity financing solutions.

Download or read book SME Lending Asymmetries and Opportunities in the Brazilian Market written by Anderson da Silva Pereira and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) play a crucial role in a global society. They account for a significant portion of employment and contribute to innovation and economic growth both in developed and emerging economies. Strength SMEs have a direct impact on job creation and stimulate economic activity in local communities. It can also help to promote entrepreneurship and encourage the development of new ideas and innovations. All of these factors contribute to the overall well-being of societies and communities worldwide. However, SMEs often face considerable challenges in obtaining financing, limiting their ability to thrive. SME finance is crucial for the economy because it helps these businesses access the capital they need to invest in their operations, hire employees, and pursue new opportunities. By providing access to financing, SMEs can grow and contribute to the health and vitality of the economy. In perfect markets, high margins attract new players, and the increase in competition creates innovations that will decrease the price of accessing goods. At the same time, it promotes access to specific consumers who, at the previous point, do not have access to it. Nonetheless, this does not happen in the SME finance market, especially in emerging - and imperfect - economies. This can take the form of loans, lines of credit, or other financial instruments that have enormous differences in price despite targeting similar customers. This study aims to understand the roots of the interest rate for SME lending in different aspects of emerging markets, particularly focusing on Brazil. This study also aims to collect data, conduct qualitative interviews, and understand the financial technologies applied to increase competition, reduce interest rates, and promote access to financial products.
Download or read book The SME Financing Gap Theory and evidence written by and published by OECD Publishing. This book was released on 2006 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The lack of funding available from the financial sector for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) is known as the financing gap. This report analyzes 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, and recommends measures to foster an improved flow of financing to SMEs and entrepreneurs. A significant number of entrepreneurs and SMEs could use funds productively if they were available, but are often denied access to financing. This impedes their creation and growth. The "financing gap" was the subject of the OECD Global Conference on "Better Financing for Entrepreneurship and SME Growth", held in Brasilia, Brazil in March 2006. Vol. 2 presents a synthesis of the Conference discussions on the credit and equity financing gaps, as well as on private equity definitions and measurements. It also offers a selection of papers given by some of the key stakeholders (SMEs, government and financial institutions) confronting these issues.--Publisher's description.

Download or read book The Politics of Equity Finance in Emerging Markets written by Kathryn C. Lavelle and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2004-10-14 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emerging market stock issuance relative to GDP rose in the late twentieth century to levels that roughly matched that of advanced, industrial markets. Nonetheless, the connection between owning shares of emerging market stock and the ability to influence the management of these firms remains fundamentally different from the analogous institutional connection that has evolved in industrial markets. The reasons for the differences in emerging markets are both historical and political in nature. That is, local equity markets have had the objective of providing for some degree of local ownership and control of large economic entities since the late nineteenth century. However, local markets have operated under different global political structures since that time, ranging from imperialism, to world wars, to sovereign developmental states, to neo-liberal states. Shares issued under these different structures have been reconfigured over time, resulting in a lack of convergence along either the Anglo-American or Continental models of corporate governance. The author uses a political science paradigm to explain the growth of emerging equity markets. She departs from conventional economic explanations and examines politics at the micro-level of large issues of emerging market stock. The second half of the book presents case studies dealing with emerging market countries in Latin America, Asia, Russia and Eastern Europe, Africa and the Middle East. The case studies connect the regional, state, and firm levels to detail the multiple ownership and control arrangements, and to dispel the notion that mere quantitative growth of these markets will lead to a convergence in financial institutional structures along the lines of the industrial core of the world economy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume, originally published in 1995, examines the mechanisms by which businesses that have the capacity to grow – whether in terms of output, innovation or export – acquire the cash that enables growth. Addressing an issue of central importance to the competitiveness of firms and economies, this book draws together research by leading academics in the area. Throughout, research studies develop the themes of market failure, finance gaps and failure of demand. They also bring out the linkages between the financing choices facing the growing firm and the issues of organisation and of corporate governance that have to be address during the process of growth and maturity. Contributors challenge financial orthodoxy throughout, providing coherent analyses of the difficulties faced in the finance of the growing enterprise, from its early dependence on banks and informal finance to the pinnacle of a stock exchange listing.

Download or read book Financial Development in Latin America written by Augusto de la Torre and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2006 with total page 43 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This paper argues that the dominant policy paradigm on financial development is increasingly insufficient to address big emerging issues that are particularly relevant for financial systems in Latin America. This paradigm was shaped over the past decades by a fundamental shift in thinking toward market-based financial development and a complex process of financial crises interpretation. The result has been a richly textured policy paradigm focused on promoting financial stability and the convergence to international standards. It argues, however, that there is a growing dissonance between the current paradigm and the emerging issues, which is illustrated by discussing challenges in three areas: stock markets, small and medium enterprise loans, and defined-contribution pension funds. The paper concludes that the dominant policy paradigm is ill-suited to provide significant guidance in relation to the big emerging issues. It emphasizes the need to take a fresh look at the evidence, improve the diagnoses, revisit expectations, and revise the paradigm. "--World Bank web site.
Download or read book Unlocking Access to Finance for SMEs A Cross Country Analysis written by Mr.Armand Fouejieu and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2020-03-13 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Countries in the MENAP and CCA regions have the lowest levels of financial inclusion of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the world. The paper provides empirical evidence on the drivers of SME access to finance for a large sample of countries, and identifies key policy priorities for these two regions: economic and institutional stability, competition, public sector size and government effectiveness, credit information infrastructure (e.g., credit registries), the business environment (e.g., legal frameworks for contract enforcement), and financial supervisory and regulatory capacity. The analysis also shows that improving credit information, economic competition, the business environment along with economic development and better governance would help close the SME financial inclusion gap between MENAP and CCA regions and the best performers. The paper concludes on the need to adopt holistic policy strategies that take into account the full range of macro and institutional requirements and reforms, and prioritize these reforms in accordance with each country’s specific characteristics.
