Researchers from the Policy Studies Institute (PSI) presented the results of a baseline survey on the impact of lease financing on the performance of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) at the PSI premises on December 8, 2023.

The researchers emphasized the important role that SMEs play as a driver of economic growth. They also emphasized that SMEs in developing countries face many critical challenges, with lack of access to external finance being a particular problem. Furthermore, they underscored that there are overlooked groups that have difficulty obtaining external credit.
