This interactive tool provides access to the latest estimates of the MSME finance gap across Sub-Saharan Africa, based on data published by the SME Finance Forum in 2025. Using a consistent methodology and conceptual framework, the analysis captures changes in financing needs over time and provides insights into the scale and distribution of unmet demand for finance.
Users can explore and compare MSME financing gaps by country, gender, and enterprise type, including both formal and informal SMEs. The tool is designed to support policymakers, financial institutions, development partners, investors, and researchers in identifying market opportunities, understanding financing constraints, and informing strategies to expand access to finance for small and medium-sized enterprises across Africa.
