Lessons from Financing SMEs
No full textSmall and medium enterprises (SMEs) are
the economic backbone of virtually every economy in the
world. SMEs represent more than 95 percent of registered
firms worldwide, account for more than 50 percent of jobs,
and contribute more than 35 percent of Gross Domestic
Product (GDP) in many emerging markets. Yet despite their
vital role in almost every economy in the world, these
enterprises remain significantly underserved by financial
institutions. In an effort to bridge this financing gap, the
World Bank Group works across a number of its Global
Practices – and in conjunction with the International
Finance Corporation’s Financial Institutions Group (FIG) and
Cross-Cutting Advisory Services – to provide support to SMEs
Bringing together the diverse expertise and perspectives of
staff working across the institution, this compendium of
lessons illuminates the World Bank Group`s experience with
SMEs, exploring its policies and frameworks to support SMEs,
analyzing innovations in the SME finance realm, and
describing some country specific examples. These lessons
will provide SME practitioners with practical guidance for
their work with the SME sector, and will also inform and
educate policymakers about interventions and approaches that
they can consider

No full textPericardium may be involved in several diseases, from primary malignancy and pericardial involvement in metastatic diseases to inflammation of the pericardium (pericarditis). Pericardial effusion, which may be secondary to inflammation or tumour producing, is a life-threating situation if left untreated. Pericardial diseases research has progressed significantly from past years but pericardial diseases are still troublesome entities to manage. Research focuses mainly on the aetiology of idiopathic cases of pericarditis, autoinflammatory and autoimmunity process involving pericardial inflammation, and the role of novel agents in management of idiopathic recurrent cases. Further research is needed to better understand the pathogenesis of idiopathic cases, management in neoplastic involvement, and the efficacy of novel agents.</p
