Policy Research Working Paper No. 4649 |
| description |
The "conventional wisdom" in
academic and policy circles argues that, while large and
foreign banks are generally not interested in serving SMEs,
small and niche banks have an advantage in doing so because
they can overcome SME opaqueness through relationship
lending. This paper shows that there is a gap between this
view and what banks actually do. Banks perceive SMEs as a
core and strategic business and seem well positioned to
expand their links with SMEs. The recent intensification of
bank involvement with SMEs in various emerging markets
documented in this paper is neither led by small or niche
banks nor highly dependent on relationship lending. Rather,
all types of banks are catering to SMEs and larger,
multiple-service banks have in fact a comparative advantage
in offering a wide range of products and services on a large
scale, through the use of new technologies, business models,
and risk management systems. |
