SME Finance Forum - Annual Report 2020

In this publication, you will read about the SME Finance Forum highlights in 2020.

Extract from the Foreword: The year 2020 has been a challenging one for all of us. We have seen the COVID-19 pandemic throw the world into uncertainty. In this context, we are proud to have launched new services to help our members deal with this  extraordinary crisis.

Our members continue to inform us that our network is making a positive difference. The results of the 2020 SME Finance Forum Member Survey show that, through participation in the Forum’s activities, two-thirds of respondents acquired new knowledge about SME banking that was directly relevant to their work; 23 percent formed new business partnerships; 20 percent engaged in a productive dialogue with policymakers; and 9 percent made or received one or more investments that started with our initiative.
