Fostering Access to Finance of Small Businesses.

Access to finance is essential for small business resilience, innovation and growth. Yet, many enterprises still face significant barriers to securing the needed capital.

This white paper, prepared for the Global SME Ministerial, identifies three key areas where targeted policies can improve financial access of small businesses: expanding the affordability and diversity of financing options; strengthening financial literacy; and fostering a supportive and inclusive  regulatory environment.  Drawing on international best practices, it offers actionable insights and policy recommendations that governments can adapt to their national contexts to help small businesses secure the capital they need to grow and succeed.
