On behalf of the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Policy (EZK), Dialogic, in collaboration with the Rotterdam School of Management (RSM) and the Erasmus Centre for Entrepreneurship (ECE), investigated the functioning of the SME financing market and the role of the government.
We examined whether the EZK SME financing policy and the interaction of various instruments are still effective in addressing the bottlenecks in the SME capital market. The sustainability of the policy was also assessed. This involved looking at trends and developments (also in other European countries), exploring the workings of the alternative financing market, and opportunities to enhance self-regulation.
Mona Keijzer, State Secretary for Economic Affairs and Climate Policy, informed the Dutch House of Representatives on November 5, 2019, about her vision for the SME financing market and the actions she will take to improve its functioning.
