As in most economies, micro, small, and
medium enterprises (MSMEs) in emerging markets are widely
believed to be the engine of growth across. Over the last
decade, many researchers and academics have tried to analyze
the issue of MSME access to finance, emphasizing their
dependence on credit and cash flows. This study presents a
new approach to the estimation of the unmet demand for
financing from MSMEs in developing countries. Importantly,
it also describes the potential implications for the
public-sector bodies, private sector financial institutions,
and technology providers. The present research adds
significant value to the repository of data in the MSME
space, and opens new opportunities for further
investigation. It estimates both supply of and demand for
MSME finance on a global scale, which has never been done in
a comprehensive way. This approach estimates MSME
equilibrium lending in developed economies according to the
industry, age, and size categories, and applies this
benchmark to MSMEs in developing countries. It estimates the
MSME finance gap as the difference between current supply
and potential demand which can potentially be addressed by
financial institutions. This report is divided into five
sections. The first section reviews the literature about
financing MSMEs. The second section describes the
methodology of the present research, data sources, and the
model specification. The third section analyzes the results
of the finance gap estimation, including regional
comparisons, formal, and informal MSME sector results, and
gender disaggregated statistics. The fourth section
elaborates on the implications of the finance gap for the
public sector, including government agencies and
multilateral organizations and lending institutions.
Finally, the fifth section highlights implications for the
private sector, including banks and non-bank financial
institutions, as well as financial technology companies. |
