C5's SME Finance Summit

Dec. 16, 2010 - PRLog -- 2011 is the year that SMEs are making a comeback – with new proposals coming from the EU to support SMEs, DFIs and regulators working together to consolidate banks and the G20 stimulating global interest with their SME Finance Challenge – SME Financing is headline news and bigger than ever.

However, in these challenging times, with the lack of liquidity in the market, providing SMEs with financial access presents its very own significant challenges:

   * How do investors overcome the current barriers and associated risks of SME loans?
   * What initiatives are DFIs and regulators employing to support SMEs and facilitate their access to credit?
   * What are the best-practice strategies for rebuilding balance sheets?
   * How can financial institutions loosen their lending criteria whilst preventing default on credits?
   * How can banks manage client portfolios, reduce their costs and optimise their own returns?
