Executive Summary
Can small and medium enterprises be banked profitably, and is the market today an attractive one? How do banks overcome the challenges and capture the opportunities offered by the SME segment, particularly in developing countries? What is the difference between SME lending and SME banking? How can banks successfully expand their SME banking operations?
SME banking is an industry in transition. From a market that was considered too difficult to serve, it has now become a strategic target of banks worldwide. The "missing middle," describing the gap in financial services provided to SMEs, is shrinking. SME banking appears to be growing the fastest in emerging markets (low- and middle-income countries) where this gap has been the widest. More and more emerging market banks are developing strategies and creating SME units. IFC's committed portfolio of investments in SME financial institutions has grown dramatically over the last five years — by 271 percent — totaling $6.1 billion as of end of FY09.
