Financial Services
The increasing importance of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) has led many Governments in the developed and developing countries to support and promote them in every avenue of their business. It is an undisputed reality that SMEs still have an untapped potential to be exploited for the optimum utilization of economic resources (i.e. land, labor, capital) of the country regardless of where it is in its development phase.
 
In order to facilitate SMEs in Pakistan a multi-pronged approach needs to be adopted. In terms of regulatory procedures the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) has modified Prudential Regulations and in addition is in the process of developing various pro-active strategies for SMEs. The financial sector is also in process of modifying its services to best suit SME requirements.
 
In this regard, Financial Services Group, a part of Business Development Services of SMEDA has initiated a project to facilitate information dissemination to the SME sector about available formal financing instruments for SMEs.
