Impacts of SME Credit and Technology Information Sharing upon Banks’ Credit Analysis

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Today’s new engine of economic growth is innovative technology intensive SMEs. However, they have limited access to funding because of asymmetric information problems. Sharing of SME information helps reduce information asymmetry. This paper explains the Korean system of SME technology information sharing, as well as SME credit information sharing. It also provides theoretical analysis about the effects of the SME information sharing on banks’ credit analysis activities, based on Karapetyan and Stacescu (2013). Sharing of SME credit and technology information expands the data set of banks and it will enhance their credit analysis. In addition, SME information sharing increases banks’ investments in credit analysis activities. To encourage SME information sharing and production, the government can subsidize the production of SME technology information.
