Small and Medium-Sized Enterprise Finance for Promoting Green Transition: Addressing Financial and Structural Barriers
ADB
2025.10.02
- Climate change poses significant threats to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and incentivizes engaging in low?carbon transition to remain competitive.

- Green transitions provide new opportunities for SMEs to enter new markets and enhance brand competitiveness via sustainable practices.

- SMEs face substantial barriers to participating in green transitions, including high upfront costs, limited access to finance, complex sustainability

- reporting requirements, and fragmented taxonomies across jurisdictions.

- To accelerate SME participation in green transitions, governments should expand targeted finance mechanisms such as concessional loans, credit guarantees, and environmental, social, and governance bonds, and provide technical assistance for navigating complex sustainability reporting requirements.

- Governments should simplify reporting standards and introduce SME-specific reporting templates, user-friendly digital tools, and proportionate standards to reduce administrative burdens and facilitate green finance access.
