All industries and sectors have been uniquely disrupted by the pandemic, causing companies to revisit their strategies as they look to react to the current environment and plan for the future. SMEs increasingly expect a fully integrated product and service platform from which to access financial solutions and services to run their business, reduce operating cost, and expand regionally and beyond. In this context, banks have accelerated the digitisation and automation of their SME operations and processes and are progressing in building a platform from where SMEs can access everything in one place.
The SME Finance Annual Report delves into business finance to explore the latest trends, the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, main players and their developments. It provides key financial and operational benchmarks for stakeholders to help them to stay ahead of the game.
Interviews for this report were conducted between February and April 2022 with 22 commercial banks, P2P fintech lenders and digital SME banks across 10 Asia Pacific countries, including Australia, China, Hong Kong, South Korea, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan and Thailand.
