“A lack of supply chain finance is a bottleneck which hampers exports from emerging markets, but also a limiting factor to growth for SMEs in Europe. The impact of addressing this can be significant: supply chain financing enables economic growth and development, supporting enterprises which produce and import/export essential goods and those in related services. It also helps companies to broaden their international client base and to increase flows of foreign currency and investment in markets where it is most needed.

SMEs, who are key drivers of local economic growth and employment, are disproportionately affected by the funding gap which has resulted from bank retrenchment in Supply Chain Finance. Supporting these companies is vital to maintaining and improving employment levels both in Europe and in emerging markets. Crucially, we can also help SMEs align to international standards and build robust business practices.”
