Access to Finance for SMEs: Discussion (Resumed)
1:55 pm
Ms Regina Breheny:
We are well ahead of countries in Europe, particularly in respect of the amount of venture capital in the economy and in the number of new companies being supported and brought on. There are difficulties around the world in funding venture capital from the private sector. We are probably a bit behind the Americans because we have fewer institutional investors to choose from.
