The research paper examines the participation of commercial banks financing fund to production level of SMEs in Pakistan. The scholar reviews related to this research work suggests that SMEs contribute more than half of the economic establishments in economies of the world; and so as SMEs in Pakistan add their massive amount of contribution in national economic growth and development. Being as an economic growth catalyst for economy of Pakistan, this sector is under negative macroeconomic conditions that result into negative economic growth since year 2009. Besides other macroeconomic variables, market fund deficiency has been resulting into lack of access to finance and hence hampers the SMEs production. Whereas, access to finance available to SMEs in-terms of working capital finance, trade finance and fixed investment, is limited only through commercial banks than other sectors of fund arrangement. With the major data sources from State Bank of Pakistan publications and Ministry of Finance of Pakistan, the analysis reveals negative growth in private sector financing to SMEs from all scheduled banks. So as, the negative marginal contribution of Private, Public, Islamic and specialized banks to SME financing exclusively relates with the declining SME national output. The research concludes that commercial banks are core source for SME borrowing and hence rationally affect the production of SMEs in terms of working capital requirement. A fiscal policy adjustment along with monetary and capital market innovations is highly desirable to avoid SME sector vulnerability in global and regional competitiveness.

Although access to financing in Pakistan is expanding quickly, it is two to four times lower than regional benchmarks. Half of Pakistani adults, mostly women, do not engage with the financial system at all, and only 14 percent have access to formal services. Credit for small- and medium-size enterprises is rationed by the financial system. The formal microfinance sector reaches less than 2 percent of the poor, as opposed to more than 25 percent in neighboring countries. Yet it is the micro- and small businesses, along with remittances, that help families escape the poverty trap and participate in the economy. 'Bringing Finance to Pakistan s Poor' is based on a pioneering and comprehensive survey and dataset that measures the access to financial products by Pakistani households. The survey included 10,305 households in all areas of the country, excluding the tribal regions. The accompanying CD contains summary statistics. The authors develop a picture of access to and usage of financial services across the country and across different population groups, and they identify policy and regulatory priorities. Reform measures in Pakistan have been timely, but alone are not enough; financial institutions have lagged behind in adopting technology, segmenting customer bases, diversifying products, and simplifying processes and procedures. Gender bias and low levels of financial literacy remain barriers, as is geographical remoteness. However, the single strongest cause of low financial access is lack of income not location, education, or even gender. 'Bringing Finance to Pakistan s Poor' will be of great interest to readers working in the areas of business and finance, economic policy, gender and rural development, and microfinance.
