With commercial banks ever favouring the biggest corporate borrowers, do SMEs face an impossible job? This session looks at the challenges faced by small and mid-sized traders and producers, from raising debt in a difficult market, to navigating volatility and supply squeezes, to higher logistical costs. How can SMEs be better supported by the wider industry? And has bank ‘flight to quality’ lessened as the industry moves on from the cluster of high-profile fraud cases in 2020?
