The OECD Scoreboard on SME and entrepreneurship finance provides a comprehensive framework for monitoring SMEs’ and entrepreneurs’ access to finance over time. The country profiles present data for a number of core indicators, which measure trends in SME debt and equity financing, solvency and policy measures by governments. Taken together, the set of indicators provide policy makers and other stakeholders with a consistent framework to evaluate whether SME financing needs are being met, to support the design and evaluation of policy measures, and to monitor the implications of financial reforms on SMEs’ access to finance.
