b. RolloutoftheG20ImplementationFrameworkonSMEfinancing:

UndertheGermanPresidency,thefirstbaselinereportbasedontheG20SMEFinanceActionPlan Implementation Framework will be delivered. This is a self-assessment by all G20countries regarding the status of their credit infrastructure compared to internationalstandards in three areas. These areas are: a) improving framework conditions for creditreportingforSMEs;b)reformmeasuresmeanttofacilitateborrowingbybroadeningtherange

of acceptable collateral to include movable assets; c) reforming the legal framework forinsolvency.TheImplementationFrameworkoftheG20ActionPlanonSMEFinancingadoptedatthe2016HangzhouSummitwillberolledout in2017.TheWBGas IPwillconsolidatethecountryself-assessments inonebaselinereportanddeliver itunder theGermanPresidency.This reportwillbeupdatedevery twoyearsandwill showprogresson the reformmeasuresimplementedbytheG20countries.ThepromotionofimplementingtheActionPlaninwillingnonG20countrieswillalsobeexplored.

c. FinancialServicesforSMEsinSustainableGlobalValueChains

AttheG20SummitinHangzhoutheG20representativesreaffirmedthatpromotingSMEsandintegratingthemintoglobalsupplychainsisanimportantdriverforsustainabledevelopmentandthereforeenjoysahighpriority.Thiscanbeachievednotonlythroughcostefficiency,butalso through the improvement of social and environmental conditions in the productionprocesses of SMEs. However, the improvement of and shift towards sustainable productionprocesses requires additional funding. The lack of sufficient financial services in mostdeveloping and emergingmarketswas identified as oneof themain challenges for SMEs toovercome.AccordingtotheIFCanditsEnterpriseFinanceGapDatabase,formalandinformalSMEsindevelopingcountriesfaceanestimatedfinancinggapofUSD2.1to2.6trillion.

Althoughseveralnewfinancingmodelsandinitiativeshavebeendevelopedinrecentyearstoexpand SME financing for more sustainable GVCs (e.g. governments and public sectorinitiatives, lending andadvisoryprograms, innovative financingplatforms), it is not yet clearwhichofthemaremostconducivetoenablingSMEstotakepartinsustainableGVCs.

Under the German Presidency of the G20, the GPFI SME Finance SubGroupwill conduct astocktakingstudyto identify,mapandanalyseexisting financingmodels,goodpracticesandpoliciesandpartnershipswithregardtoSMEintegrationintosustainableGVCs.Itwillhighlightmodelswhichhavedemonstratedsuccessandhavepotentialforreplication.Itisforeseenthatthestudywillofferoptionsand recommendations for thedifferent stakeholders:G20policymakers,IFIsandDFIsaswellasforotherglobalvaluechainactors.

d. ClimatesmartfinancingforruralMSMEs-enablingpolicyframeworks

Climate Smart ruralmicro, small andmediumenterprises (MSMEs) investment is needed toadaptandbuildresilienceofruralcommunitiesandfoodsecuritysystemsaswellastoreducegreenhouse gas emissions from rural areas. TheMSMEs, individually and collectively faceincreasing asset loss risks due to more frequent extreme weather disasters. The systemiceffects of climate are felt across communities and producers andwithin the affected valuechains.At the same time,newcost savingopportunities andbusinessmodels arise for ruralMSMEs thanks to more and more accessible renewable energy sources and technologicaladvancesintheadaptationarea(suchaswaterrecyclingandirrigationsystems).MSMEsneedtoacquiretheseefficienttechnologiesandriskreducingpracticesandproductsthat increasethe resilience of their assets and livelihoods to climate change.G20 policymakers face thechallenge of designing policies and regulations that helpMSMEs to adapt to and strive in acontextofachangingclimate,andaccessthefinancingrequiredtoadaptbusinessmodelsandmaketheirbusinessesmoreresilient.Inordertoprovideassistanceforpolicymakers,theGPFISME Finance Subgroup supports the development of a policy paper that will providerecommendationsforevidencebasedclimatesmartMSMEpolicyoptions.Thepaperreviewsexistingpolicies incentivizingandregulating ruralMSMEclimatesmart financingandanalyzeevidenceregardingperformanceandresultsofthesepolicies.Basedonthisanalysis,evidence

f. DataHarmonisation

At both the national and financial institution levels, there are a number of data collectionexercises on SME finance that would benefit from better coordination, with a view to aprocessofharmonizationofdefinitionsandmethodologiesatthenationalandDFIlevels.Asafirst step in this effort, the subgroup could provide an overview/stocktaking of existing andplanned multilateral initiatives in data collection on SME finance. This stocktaking exercisewouldincludeinformationonthepurpose,objectivesandscopeofeachinitiative,inadditiontomethodological aspects. Thisexercisewould serve to informadiscussionamong relevantstakeholderswiththeaimofreducingredundancies, improvingthecompatibilityofdifferentstatistical initiatives and lightening the administrative burden on reporting countries.

II. ON-GOINGACTIVITIESOFTHEGPFISMEFINANCESUBGROUP:

i. SMEFinanceCompact

InanefforttopromoteSMEfinancepoliciesandapproachesthatspureconomicgrowth,theG20 GPFI announced the SME Finance Compact in 2012 to promote the development ofinnovativemodelsandapproachestoaddressthespecificchallengesandconstraintsfacedbylowincomedevelopingcountries(LIDCs)withregardtoSMEfinance.

The implementationoftheSMEFinanceCompact isongoing inpartnershipwiththeAllianceforFinancialInclusionandtheWorldBankGrouptosupportpeerlearningamongstregulators,identify regulatory and policy challenges, develop data indicators for SME finance anddocument successful policy approaches, as an important initial step and to support furtheractivities under the SME Finance Initiative and the Financial Inclusion Support Framework(FISF).

InSeptember2015attheGlobalPolicyForumoftheAllianceforFinancialInclusion,membersof the Network adopted the “Maputo Accord” formally recognizing the importance of SMEFinanceasacriticalcomponentofoverallnationalfinancial inclusionstrategies.Additionally,morethan30developingandemergingcountrieswithintheAFInetworksignalledtheirintenttodevelopspecificcommitmentsandestablishquantifiabletargetsforSMEFinanceundertheframeworkoftheMayaDeclaration,andinfurtheranceofthegoalsoftheG20SMEFinance.Individualcountrycommitments,andprogressagainsttargetscanbeaccessedintheAFIDataPortal,www.afi-dataportal.org,whichwaspubliclylaunchedattheSeptember2016AFIGlobalPolicy Forum in Fiji. AFI is creating a strategy to increase the level of reporting and datacollection.Also,AFI’sSMEFinanceWorkingGrouphaspublishedasurveythatsetstheroleoffinancial regulators in promoting access to financing for MSMEs. Additional surveys withinformationabout the roleof regulatoron fosteringaccess to finance forMSMEsownedbywomen and women entrepreneurs along with a case study on Bangladesh are currentlyworked.

TheFinancialInclusionSupportFramework(FISF),aflagshipinitiativeoftheWorldBankGroup(WBG), aims to accelerate and increase the effectiveness of reforms and other country-ledactionstoachievenationalfinancialinclusiongoals.LaunchedinApril2013andwelcomedbythe G20 FinanceMinisters and the Alliance for Financial Inclusion, FISF helps scale up andleveragetheWBG’spolicydialogue,analyticalworkandfinancingforfinancialinclusion.

FISF has two main components: country support programs (CSPs) and global knowledgeactivities.TechnicalassistanceprovidedundertheCSPsbuildonandcontributetopublicandprivatesectorcommitmenttofinancialinclusion.Theysupportthedesignandimplementationof key policy and regulatory reforms, financial infrastructure development, the increasedeffectiveness of programs in strategic areas such as Government-to-Person payments, andhelp improve the financial capability of key population segments. FISF currently has eightactive Country Support Programs (CSPs) in implementation in Rwanda, Indonesia,Mozambique, Ethiopia, Zambia, Pakistan, Cote d’Ivoire, and Vietnam. All of the eight FISFcountry programs include actions to support country priorities for SME finance. Theknowledge component supports analysis, synthesis, and knowledge sharing in keyunderserved areas, such as the financial inclusion of women and individuals engaged inagriculture, and efforts to leverage digital payments to provide access to a broader set offinancialservicesincludingtoSMEs.

ii. FinancialInclusionandYouth

The SME Finance Subgroup, together with its Affiliated Partner Child and Youth FinanceInternational (CYFI) launched a Global Platform for young entrepreneurs called Global Ye!CommunityinSeptember2015.

TheSub-groupwillcontinuetopromotethenewfocusonyouthentrepreneurshipbyfocusingon:

i) the growth of a global community for young entrepreneurs and practitionersthroughtheonlineYe!community;

ii) Hold Global Inclusion awards including Ye! youth entrepreneurship award tohighlightexemplaryyouthentrepreneurs

iii) models for the implementation of a national platform for coordinating youthentrepreneurshipnationally;

iv) creating opportunities for capacity building and non-financial support incollaborationwiththeWorldSMEForum;

v) datacollection tomap thestateof the field, collectbestpractices,andevaluateeffectiveness of policies, financial products and programs related to you youthentrepreneurship.

In July 2017,CYFI plans topreparea short reportwhich contains amappingof someof thedifferenttypesoffinancialproductswhichareavailabletoyouthentrepreneurstohelpthemfinance their SMEs. This will include recommendations, based on feedback from youngentrepreneurs,onwhichdifferenttypesofproductsshouldbefurtherdevelopedorprovided.

iii. ImplementationofPrivatesectorengagementstrategy

In order to better harness the potential investment, capacity and reach of financial serviceproviders, the SME Finance Sub-group, led by its implementing partner the SME FinanceForum, in coordinationwith the other sub-groups and the B20 FinancingGrowth and SMEsand Entrepreneurship working groups, developed a private sector engagement strategytogether with its implementing and affiliated partners as a part of the GPFI Private SectorEngagementStrategyendorsedbytheLeadersin2015.

TheGPFIPrivateSectorEngagementStrategyaimstoadvanceandshowcasetherighttypeofdialogueat theglobal level.TheStrategy seeks tomaximize thepositivecontributionof theprivatesectortoadvancefinancialinclusion.

Sustaining strong public-private collaboration in SME finance requires strong, sustainedcommunications between three key groups: regulators/policymakers, financial servicesprovidersandtheentrepreneursthemselves.GPFIanditsimplementingpartnerstodatehaveestablished two platforms related to SME finance which facilitate such exchange andcooperation:theSMEFinanceForum,andtheAFIPublicPrivateDialogue(PPD)platform.

SME Finance Forum members (financial institutions, fintechs and development banks) willbecome key partners for the GPFI in identifying priorities, collecting/analyzing information,and advocating for reforms to unblock obstacles andopenupnewopportunities to expandSMEfinanceandclosethefinancegap.TheSMEFinanceForumhashelpedpromoteprivatesectorparticipationinGPFIworkshops,itsannualForum,andtheResponsibleFinanceForum.This year it is helping attract key private sector opinion leaders to the G20’s SME Financeworkshop in Frankfurt in February, and to the GPFI Forum 2-3May. It will host its annualGlobalSMEFinanceForuminBerlin30-31October,whichwillinvolvepresentations,debates,

demonstrationsandamarketplace for investorsand firms.Themeetingwillbe immediatelyprecededby study tours of innovative financial institutions and fintechs from the area. Lastyear’s event in Beijing attracted over 400 registrants from the industry and policymakinginstitutionsfrommorethan50countries,anditishopedthatthisyear’smeetingwillbeevenlarger. The meeting also will debut the annual SME Finance Awards program, which willshowcaseoutstandinginstitutionsworkinginthefield.

TheSMEFinanceForumalsohasbeenhelpingbuildbridgesforthesubgrouptotheregulatorsinAFI’sSMEFinanceWorkingGroup,totheSMEassociationstobemobilisedthroughthenewWorldSMEForum(WSF),andtotheB20’sSMEandFinancingGrowthandInfrastructureTaskForces. AFI through its Public Private Dialogue platform has opened a new channel forconsultationbetweennationalregulatorsandtheglobal financialservices industry. In2017,dialoguewiththeB20willcontinue,withB20representativesinvitedtoallmajorGPFIevents.

The subgroup’s affiliated partners offer further channels for private sector collaboration.Women’s World Banking and the Global Banking Alliance for Women connect to a largenumberoffinancialinstitutionsworld-wideand,throughtheirmonitoring/researchefforts,totheinstitutions’womenentrepreneurclients.ChildandYouthFinanceInternationalprovidesakeyconnectiontotheimportantconstituencyofyouthentrepreneurs.TheInternationalLaborOrganization provides unique insights into informal sector entrepreneurship through itsregularsurveysandotheractivities.Thenewestpartner,theMicroinsuranceNetwork,hasnotbeeninvolvedtodate,butshouldgrowinimportanceastechnologicalinnovation,particularlysurroundingthe“internetofthings”,makesservingSMEsandsmallfarmersviableforthefirsttimeformuchoftheinsuranceindustry.

Furthermore, theGPFISMEFinanceSubgroupwill reachouttotheW20,who is focusingonfinancial inclusion forwomen in 2017with a focus on “Promoting female entrepreneurshipandaccesstofinanceforwomen”.

v. Support for country level actions to implement the High Level Principles forDigitalFinancialInclusion

The Subgroup will continue to support this work, to ensure that the SME dimensions areconsidered in guiding country-level actions implementing the principles. This will includeexamininggoodpractice lessons inmovingSMEsfromcash-basedtoelectronic transactions,buildingontheworkpresentedduringtheChinesepresidencyonthistopic.Thiswillleadintoconsiderationsofhowdigitalisationofbusinesslifemayrelatetotheformalisationofinformalbusiness activities and firms.
