The CoP also aims to enable better collaboration among the key players in the SME space: banks, non-bank FIs, fintechs, regulators, and consultants, to progress SME finance through improved risk assessment and decision-making, robust risk-adjusted business performance measurement and better appreciation for the link between credit risk and other risks that may impact on an FIs’ SME business. The CoP was launched during the Global SME Finance Forum in Madrid in November 2018. The initial meeting focused on the impact of evolving data sources and fintech developments in credit risk assessment.
