BSE to launch the much awaited Small and Medium Enterprises (SME) Exchange.

The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) on September 28  granted permission to the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) to launch the much awaited Small and Medium Enterprises (SME) Exchange.
“This is a great boost to BSE‘s efforts in offering multiple asset classes to Indian investors. We are doing our bit to contribute towards the governmental agenda of greater financial inclusion and allowing promising enterprises of the future to access retail capital,” said BSE Managing Director and CEO Madhu Kannan.
He said the BSE was committed to deliver the best products, services, and asset classes to all our stakeholders and look forward to the success of the SME segment. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) have always complained of difficulty in accessing both debt and equity capital.
While the government has taken several measures to ease access to credit, giving them easier access to equity is the next step in that process. The new exchange will be a facilitator in raising funds for SMEs.
