An OECD Scoreboard
This report monitors SME and entrepreneur access to finance in 37 countries. It includes indicators of debt, equity, asset-based finance and framework conditions for SME and entrepreneurship finance, complemented by an overview of recent developments in public and private initiatives to support SME finance. Taken together, these indicators form a comprehensive framework for policy makers and other stakeholders to evaluate the financing needs of SMEs.

Thailand
There were 2.7 million SMEs (firms with less than 200 employees) in Thailand in 2012, constituting 99.7% of all enterprises and employing 78% of the labour force, including agriculture. Most banks do not use the national SME definition. Instead, they use the loan size as a proxy, and definitions vary across banks.
