Abstract:

One of the features of credit markets is that borrowers are sometimes rationed in the amount that they can borrow, which differentiates them from other markets. Small and micro enterprises (SMEs) are more likely to be eliminated than large and medium-sized enterprises under credit rationing. However, SMEs play a significant role in employment creation and growth of gross domestic products in developing countries. So, it is of great significance to study the reasons why SMEs are more vulnerable to credit constraints. By considering the differences in characteristics between SMEs and large and m

Abstract:

This working paper identifies challenges in access to finance for women-owned small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Viet Nam and recommends ways to improve it. Out of 27 banks surveyed, the authors found that only 5 cater to the specific needs of SMEs owned by women. The paper proposes ways of incentivizing financial institutions to invest in this market segment. These include requiring gender-disaggregated data reporting, boosting knowledge on gender lens investing, improving guarantee schemes, and promoting lending to women-owned SMEs as an active hedge against portfolio deterioration

Abstract:

This paper examines the effects of a revenue-based threshold for tax incentives for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Thailand. It explores the challenge of designing policies that support SMEs without discouraging their growth. The paper focuses on the introduction in 2011 of the B30 million revenue cap as a criterion for Thailand’s SME tax scheme, noting a bunching of firms just below the cap. It highlights the double-edged nature of size-based SME policies: while intended to help small businesses, such measures may inadvertently suppress growth for firms near the threshold and po
