Public-Private Partnership (PPP) Framework on financing SMEs Private sector-led equity finance venue for unlisted SMEs that are willing to raise growth capital Crowdfunding platform, supported by a public apex fund Independent from the exchange market Learning venue on market rules & responsibility for SMEs before tapping the exchange market (SME incubation market) A mechanism supporting SMEs in equity finance through collaboration with various stakeholders Channel investment capital into smaller but growing firms Lead high-end SMEs to business growth cycle 11

13 The Ways to Move Forward Developing SME capital markets can be a priority policy area as part of national growth strategies. A comprehensive policy to create investor base and enhance market literacy for SMEs is needed to develop a new market. Appropriate market type for SMEs (exchange market or organized OTC) is different by country. Securities firms & investors having interest in SMEs exist, while size & cost issues create a barrier to involve them in the SME market. PPP Framework on financing SMEs is worth exploring: combined instruments of public SME incubation fund, crowdfunding platform, and organized-otc. Critical factors to create an SME market: (i) simple, (ii) low cost, (iii) fast transaction, (iv) liquidity, (v) supporting professionals, (vi) policy framework, and (vii) market literacy 13
