Under the triple pressure, support for small, medium and micro enterprises needs to be increased

In recent years, structural reforms on the financial supply side have been intensified, and the social credit system has been continuously improved, which has effectively promoted the financing of small, medium and micro enterprises.

This is mainly reflected in two aspects: On the one hand, some localities and financial institutions have reported that it is difficult to obtain a lot of important credit-related information. However, this information is necessary to accurately and objectively describe the credit status of the enterprise. The lack of relevant information will greatly affect the enthusiasm of banks to lend; on the other hand, some banks need to connect with multiple places and multiple departments to obtain this information.
