“…Beck et al (2006) used the World Business Environment Survey (WBES) and showed that a high interest rate is the most important financing obstacle for SMEs among 12 examined financing obstacles. Farinha and Felix (2015) found that banks with lower interest rates received more loan applications as compared to banks with higher interest rates in Portugal. A study also showed that higher interest rate is one of the most significant factors for SMEs causing loan default as the higher price of loans increases the debt burden for SMEs (Chaibi and Ftiti, 2015).…”

This paper explores the determinants of access to finance for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the context of three Central European countries: Czech Republic, Slovak Republic, and Hungary. The data set of the research is obtained from the BEEPS survey, which is conducted by the World Bank and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development. This paper empirically analyses firms not only from the SMEs point of view, but also shows results for micro, small and medium enterprises separately. Additionally, we have analysed the determinants of access to finance for SMEs at each country level for an in-depth understanding of country-level variations in SME financing. The results indicate that micro firms and firms owned and operated by women are experiencing a shortage of credits from banks. On the other hand, we found a positive relationship between the pledge of collateral and access to finance. With respect to the medium firms, we found evidence that innovative firms have a larger amount of credit from banks. The empirical results also suggest that the loan size increases as the interest rates increase in particular for SMEs on the whole and for micro-firms, although the interest rate is in a negative relationship with the loan size in Czech Republic.

“…Casey et al [5] use Euro area firm-level data since the recent financial crisis, as opposed to credit financing, and smaller, self-rationing borrowers are more likely to apply for grant finance. Farinha and Félix [6] examine the importance of credit demand and credit-supply-related factors in explaining the evolution of credit granted to Portuguese SMEs. e results suggest that credit supply mostly depends on the firms' ability to generate cash flows and reimburse their debt, and on the amount of collateral.…”

As an important driving force for China’s economic transformation and upgrading, the problems of financing difficulties and expensive financing for SMEs have become increasingly prominent. The main objective of this paper was to analyze the impact of financial intermediary departments’ risk preference on corporate finance. Under the revised DSGE framework, this paper discusses the impact and stability analysis of commercial banks’ risk preferences on SMEs’ financing. The results show that positive interest rate shocks inhibit commercial banks’ credit to SMEs, and with the increasing weight of commercial banks’ risk preference for default rate, the trend of credit repression will be intensified.

“…The interest rate associated with commercial loans is also the main hurdle for entrepreneurial SMEs, and entrepreneurial SMEs are not willing to take advances from banks. Farinha and Félix (2015) established that banks with lower interest rates had received more requests for loans as compared to high interest rates for SMEs. Studies disclosed that high rate of interest discourages SMEs to get credits from banks and other financial institution because the cost of advances are high and has a negative impact upon SMEs performance (Hern andez-C anovas and Koëter-Kant, 2011).…”
