According to the ECB survey on SMEs, access to finance has been an ever-increasing key challenge for European SMEs during the crisis, both in terms of quantity and conditions of available bank credit. European SMEs in general perceive that: i) banks are less willing to lend, ii) available credit terms and conditions have deteriorated; and, iii) the outlook regarding future availability of bank credit is worsening.
