The Critical Role of CMSMEs in Bangladesh's Economy
Of the 7.8 million enterprises in Bangladesh, a staggering 88% (6.86 million) are cottage enterprises, employing a workforce of 13.16 million people. Additionally, 11% of enterprises are micro enterprises, generating employment for 0.56 million individuals. Together, CMSMEs represent a substantial 99.84% of the total enterprises in the country. CMSMEs play a vital role in the industrial sector, contributing to nearly 80% of the total employment and approximately 45% of the value added to manufacturing. In aggregate, SMEs contribute to 25% of Bangladesh's GDP, reaching US$79 billion as of 2018.
Challenges Faced by CMSMEs in Accessing Loans
Despite their significant contribution to the Bangladeshi economy, small enterprises, particularly those located in rural areas, have faced difficulties in obtaining loans from formal banking channels. Unclear definitions, lack of required documentation, and deficient bank-client relationships have hindered their access to credit. Complicated disbursement processes, the absence of bank accounts, and limited collateral options have further exacerbated these challenges for CMSMEs.
