Abstract:
Recession is pushing the public bodies to modify their action aimed to support SMEs access to credit. This may be an opportunity to streamline the forms of support and redefine the functioning of instruments such as the Central Guarantee Fund for SMEs. Also local authorities can play a front-office role to meet the needs of firms.
