| Summary: | This report provides a baseline analysis
of the status of access to finance for micro, small, and
medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) with a particular focus on
women entrepreneur' ability and constraints in
accessing finance in order to develop and grow their
businesses. It is based on a nationally representative
survey of 542 enterprises conducted in Bosnia and
Herzegovina (BiH) between September 2016 and February 2017.
The survey is a continuation of the ongoing work on access
to finance and builds upon an earlier supply-side study
conducted by the World Bank during the 2014 IMF/World Bank
Financial Sector Assessment Program (FSAP) Update, as well
as on lessons learned from the BiH Enhancing SME Access to
Finance Project. The objective of the survey is to further
analyze the demand side constraints to private sector growth
and enterprise performance related to or arising from lack
of access to finance. The survey has the specific aim to
determine the level of women entrepreneurs' ability and
constraints in accessing finance in order to develop and
grow their businesses. |
