Financing SMEs and Entrepreneurs: An OECD Scoreboard

This dataset provides a framework to monitor trends in SMEs’ and entrepreneurs’ access to finance and supports the formulation and evaluation of policies in this domain.

The dataset presents time series data on SME financing for close to 50 countries. It includes information for a number of core indicators, including SME debt and equity financing, credit conditions, solvency, and policy measures. The set of indicators provides governments and other stakeholders with a consistent framework to evaluate whether SME financing needs are being met, support the design and evaluation of policy measures, and monitor the implications of financial reforms on SME access to finance.
