Abstract: Using World Bank Enterprise Survey data for 2022 for India, the article assesses how financing obstacles for women SMEs have evolved in the post-COVID-19 period. The findings reveal that moderate-to-severe financing obstacles appear to have increased. These responses differ across women-owned, women-managed and women-owned-managed firms. Government support during the pandemic appears to have alleviated the financing obstacles to an extent.
