Abstract

The empirical literature is inconclusive regarding the impact of foreign banks entry on SMEs access to credit, while the theoretical literature supports the cherry-picking behavior of foreign banks. Using a two-period theoretical model in which domestic banks’ information is endogenous, the analysis fully considers the foreign banks’ technological and cost of funds advantage and domestic banks’ informational advantage. The paper finds that foreign banks improve access to credit for SMEs, and there exists a negative correlation between the quality of firms and the domestic banks’ information. The findings provide theoretical support that emerging economies can further remove foreign banks entry barriers to ease the financing problem of SMEs.
