The small-to-medium enterprise (SME) segment is making a significant contribution to the global economy. Women-led SMEs, in particular, are not only creating jobs for themselves but also employing others. In 2014, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) commissioned Women’s World Banking to conduct a study on “Global Best Practices in Banking for Women-led SMEs” funded by the EBRD’s Special Shareholder Fund. The work included researching global practices of financial institutions in serving women-led SMEs and developed recommendations for banks to adopt the best practices.
