The G20 GPFI Action Plan for MSME Financing addresses a persistent $5.7 trillion financing gap affecting micro, small, and medium enterprises globally—equivalent to 19% of GDP in emerging markets and developing economies. This gap significantly constrains job creation, innovation, and economic growth, making effective implementation of the Action Plan's framework critical for unlocking MSME potential worldwide.
This panel will showcase how countries are translating the Action Plan into practice, featuring real-world implementation experiences from developing economies. Panelists will share lessons learned from enabling environment reforms, targeted interventions, and innovative approaches to mobilize private capital for MSME financing. Expect practical insights on policy prioritization, implementation challenges, measurable impacts achieved, and differentiated strategies for supporting women-owned and youth-led businesses.
