2019 Global SME Finance Forum In more and more parts of the world, the largest and/or fastest growing SME financiers may not have started as banks.  Whether from tech companies, logistics firms, commodities traders or even Fast-Moving Consumer Goods distributors, competition from the real sector is getting stronger and stronger for the SME business.  The real sector firms come into SME financing armed with substantial data resources and analytical skill – how is the traditional financial sector to deal with this?  Is it all threat, or is there also opportunity from these new entrants?
This year’s Global SME Finance Forum will examine the different ways in which the real sector has entered the SME finance space, and the various ways in which financiers and regulators are coping with the “new kids on the block.”
