Описание: The importance of financial inclusion is increasingly recognized by policymakers around the world. In the Middle East and Central Asia (MENAP and CCA) regions, small and medium-sized enterprises represent an important share of firms, but the regions lag most others in terms of SME access to financing.
Описание: This book focuses on the development of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Indonesia based on various primary and secondary field surveys. In doing so, the book provides a regional comparison of countries in Asia- Pacific, covering issues such as employment generation, formation of gross domestic product (GDP), export development, development constraints, productivity, and investment. To achieve this, the book analyzes the role of partnerships between MSMEs such as large companies, banks and government institutions, and the role of cooperatives. It also includes studies on women’s entrepreneurship in Indonesia, and also explores the crisis mitigating measures (CMMs) widely adopted by MSMEs affected by financial crises in the past. Finally, the book also examines the development of financial technology (FinTech), and in particular peer-to-peer (P2P) lending and how this can serve as an alternative source of funding for MSMEs in Indonesia. Aspects of this book would be useful to students, researchers, practitioners, and also those interested in economic-related sustainable development goals (SDGs), given the importance the United Nations (UN) has assigned to MSMEs for taking a lead in employment creation, and poverty eradication.
Mobile money, e-commerce, cash cards, retail credit cards, and more—as new monetary technologies become increasingly available, the global South has cautiously embraced these mediums as a potential solution to the issue of financial inclusion. How, if at all, do new forms of dematerialized money impact people’s everyday financial lives? In what way do technologies interact with financial repertoires and other socio-cultural institutions? How do these technologies of financial inclusion shape the global politics and geographies of difference and inequality? These questions are at the heart of Money at the Margins, a groundbreaking exploration of the uses and socio-cultural impact of new forms of money and financial services.

Ambassador (Dr.) Robin Renee Sanders' new book on The Rise of Africa's Small & Medium Size Enterprises (SMEs) is an insightful examination of the dramatic shift in the development paradigm for Sub Saharan Africa -- driven in large part by the imaginative, innovative, and insta-impact leadership of the region's small businesses or SMEs. "SMEs have helped drive economic development, growth and aided in increasing the size of the Continent's middle class," Sanders says.
With the Introduction to the book by renown civil rights leader Ambassador Andrew Young, and the Foreword by Sub Saharan Africa's leading businessman, Mr. Aliko Dangote, Sanders' book credits the determination of Africa SMEs and entrepreneurs (which includes African nationals, immigrants and African Americans) for stepping into the void left by 40-years of post-independence development approaches that had little impact on reducing overall poverty and creating jobs in the region. "Africa's dynamic entrepreneurial spirit of Generation-Xers and Millennials' are and have formed SMEs and social enterprises that today are responsible for conceiving and inventing many of the new apps, and answers to address the region's age-old poverty issues," Sanders emphasizes. "Africa SMEs are not only a key driver for jobs, but serve as an additional catalyst to grow the middle class." Sanders argues that it was the Rise of the Africa SME - converging with technology and its mobility - that has changed, over the last decade, the focus and direction of development in Sub Saharan Africa.
The book has a few vignettes from Sanders' diplomatic life and work as CEO of the FEEEDS Advocacy Initiative with Africa SMEs over the years, as well as regional examples of some of innovative things Africa entrepreneurs are doing in sectors ranging from agriculture and food security to energy and climate change. The book also walks readers through what donors, foundations and African stock markets are doing today to help in the SME space. Sanders ends with recommendations of what more can be done by donors, African governments, and the new U.S. administration to further assist Africa SMEs, particularly the group she calls the "critical mass," and those at the "fragile" end of Africa's middle class.
