Abstract:

 

Small and medium enterprise sector is considered the engine of economic and
 social development of a country, appreciation resulting from the fact that,
 according to statistical data, it generates much of a country's gross domestic
 product and provides jobs for most employment population. Such an assessment
 justifies our concern for the research in this field.
 One of the fundamental problems of any company and, in particular of the small
 and medium enterprises (SME) is the access to finance, as a condition for their
 creation, survival and development. Starting from this assessment, our study aims
 to highlight the possibilities of financing the SME sector in some EU countries
 and especially the differences that arise between them, and the obstacles that
 SMEs face in the way of the access to finance, based on studies initiated by the
 European Commission, the European Central Bank and the World Bank. Also, the
 study aim to highlight the impact of the current crisis over the access to financing
 for SMEs in the countries examined and measures taken by the national
 government to support access to finance, particularly bank financing of this
 sector.
