| Summary: | This paper uses cross-country firm-level
surveys to gauge access to financial services and the
importance of financing constraints for African enterprises.
The paper compares access to finance in Africa and other
developing regions of the world, within Africa across
countries, and across different groups of firms. It relates
firms' access to finance to firm and banking system
characteristics and discusses policy challenges. |
