About This Session
The SME Finance Forum (SMEFF) was established in 2012 by the G20 and is managed by the World Bank Group. Our objective is to scale SME finance for job creation and economic growth. As the leading SME finance network globally, we steer industry innovations, support replication of best practices, steer policy advocacy, and foster global knowledge transfer. We also power our global peer learning membership network by connecting them with relevant partners, investors and policymakers.
This session highlights the SME Finance Forum's (SMEFF) transformation journey, showcasing key achievements and strategic priorities developed. Get an insider's view of SMEFF's latest milestones from the last 12 months and contribute to shaping the future initiatives meant to solve the MSME finance gap.
Join an interactive conversation with SME Finance Forum members, affiliates, and partners as they share experiences, insights, and lessons from across the global SME finance ecosystem. Through audience participation and open dialogue, attendees will have the opportunity to discuss emerging challenges, identify opportunities for collaboration, and help shape the Forum's future priorities. The session will conclude with an interactive Q&A.
