AGENDA

GLOBAL SME FINANCE FORUM 2020
SME Finance Outlook 2030

The COVID-19 pandemic has thrown the world into uncertainty and the outsized
nature of the impact on governments, businesses and citizens is causing
upheavals in the way we live and work, resulting in massive social and economic
changes. While there are many disruptions and negative outcomes such as the
unfortunate loss of life and reversals in poverty reduction, there is also the
possibility for positive outcomes, as we take a hard look at ways of living and
doing business that can and should evolve.  

This is the context in which we offer this year’s Global SME Finance Forum,
where we present and examine both challenges and opportunities in SME Finance.
On the first day, we take the time to reflect on the current impact of COVID-19
on SME Finance, especially on key stakeholders, financial institutions, SMEs,
fintech and policymakers. On the second day, we take a deeper look at the
strategic initiatives and measures taken by individual institutions to respond
to the pandemic and to better serve SMEs.  On the final day, we will examine
what the future will hold for SME Finance and how businesses can evolve, and
then offer ideas and thinking of ways to move more optimistically into the
future.

SME BANKING: THE EVOLVING LANDSCAPE

The landscape of the global financial services industry has seen considerable
changes over the past few years. The entrance of non-traditional financial
institutions particularly Fintech and Big Tech has indisputably accelerated
innovation in the financial sector and improved service offerings for consumers
and SMEs. At the same time, they also make the industry ever more competitive,
creating pressure and uncertainties for incumbents, the traditional financial
institutions. What does this evolving landscape mean for SME finance?

SME BANKING: THE EVOLVING LANDSCAPE

The landscape of the global financial services industry has seen considerable
changes over the past few years. The entrance of non-traditional financial
institutions particularly Fintech and Big Tech has indisputably accelerated
innovation in the financial sector and improved service offerings for consumers
and SMEs. At the same time, they also make the industry ever more competitive,
creating pressure and uncertainties for incumbents, the traditional financial
institutions. What does this evolving landscape mean for SME finance?
