Access to finance for SMEs at a regional level: The case for a development bank for Wales?

Jones-Evans, Dylan

Abstract

In 2013, the Welsh Government announced an independent review into access to finance in Wales. Its aim was to examine how effectively SMEs in Wales are served by existing sources of funding, identify areas of particular challenge and provide recommendations for action. This paper reports on the work undertaken during this review and on its conclusions regarding a potential solution to the funding issue facing SMEs in Wales through the creation of a Development Bank for Wales.
