Global and Regional Insights into
Supporting SME Access to Finance
Andrew McCartney: Lead Global Specialist, SME and
Gender Finance, FIG Advisory Services
Sri Lanka, October 2014
Key Messages
• SMEs are crucial for the creation of jobs, to reduce poverty and increase
the shared prosperity.
• The environment has improved for SMEs, but access to finance remains a
key constraint for their growth, with a $1 trillion credit gap remaining
globally
• IFC’s work with the G20 identified a number of areas that policy makers
need to consider in further supporting SMEs. These recommendations
have also driven IFC’s own strategy to support the financing of 10 million
SMEs by 2020
• SMEs are a key segment in Sri Lanka representing some 50%+ of GDP,
but access to finance remains a constraint.
• Our strategy for Sri Lanka is focusing upon addressing key areas,
including: 1) Informality 2) Gender 3) furthering FI outreach with focus on
post-conflict and lagging regions, as well as targeting specific growth
sectors such as agriculture and tourism
• IFC as market leader in this space has the investment and advisory
products and services needed to further support SME growth in Sri Lanka
