No DP2018-03, Discussion Paper Series from Research Institute for Economics & Business Administration, Kobe University

Abstract: In June 2017, the Japanese Diet passed “the Act on the Partial Revision of the Small and Medium-sized Enterprise Credit Insurance Act to Promote Improvements and Developments of SME's Business Management” (Credit Guarantee System Reform Act in short) in order to enhance the roles that credit-guarantee system plays in terms of supporting SMEs. In this paper, the author, who was a member of the Small and Medium Enterprise Policy-Making Council's Financial Working Group (the Financial WG), tries to explain what this reform aims.
