Jose Antonio Pedrosa-Garcia , Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (ESCWA), UN , 2013
This paper discusses policy considerations on access to finance by Small and Medium Enterprises (SME) in the Arab region. It shows that although uneven, financial penetration in the Arab region remains low and SMEs in the region have more difficulties to access finance than those in other parts of the world. The paper presents the factors underlying such performance looking at demand, supply of credit, and financial infrastructure.
