Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) are pivotal drivers of worldwide economic growth and innovation, pivotal in job creation and GDP expansion. Nonetheless, they encounter notable hurdles in securing credit, leading to a widening gap in credit accessibility. This gap ballooned to $2.6 trillion in 2023 from $1.5 trillion previously due to stringent credit criteria, escalating borrowing expenses, and scant historical financial data availability.
Concurrently, the global B2B e-commerce market, expected to hit USD$36 trillion by 2026, offers vast potential for SMEs. To succeed in this sphere, strategic market penetration, streamlined logistics, and innovative payment solutions accommodating varied consumer preferences and regulatory frameworks are essential. Yubi and MODIFI are jointly dedicated to nurturing a thriving cross-border trade ecosystem in India, unlocking fresh prospects for Indian enterprises.
