Too risky and cost intensive ‘non-bankable’• Credit crunch reduces access to finance • Funding needs of non banking providers of

microcredit (regulatory environment and inter-banking market)

• Insufficient support measures targetting micro-entrepreneurs

Need for quick and direct action

What is micro-credit?

• Loans under EUR25,000.

• Tailored for micro-enterprises, employing less than 10 people (91% of all European enterprises), and unemployed or inactive people who want to go into self-employment but do not have access to traditional banking services.
