6 Self Assessment Collateral is required for lending both by the SFIs and commercial banks. Following instructions from the Central Bank, SFIs operates on a profit-making principle instead of socio-economic development goals. The Central Bank makes no differentiations in lending policies of commercial banks and SFIs (example SME Bank lending during the flood situation). Shortage of fund is most prevalent for start-up firms and high risk, innovative enterprises. the government financed Venture Capital is not going anywhere. Commercial banks maintain that high cost and high risks are associated with SMEs lending. Working capital is calculated by commercial banks from sale turnover. After baht appreciation this affects the ability of SMEs to draw on working capital. Self Assessment Not all SES are included in the National Credit Bureau Database, whereas Micro Enterprises are totally excluded from the database. Financial Institutions personel lack analysis tools necessary to lend to innovation-driven industries (i.e. assessing intangible assets) Approval period of SFIs is longer than that of commercial banks Management guidance and consultancy services among various agencies are not coordinated. No portfolio approach to management guidance (start-up, growth, turnaround, internationalization) 5
