Summary: The report summarizes discussions of experts who were of the opinion that the provision of financial services should be closely linked to the delivery of business development services, (BDS). These services should be demand-driven, focused, strategic, market-oriented and business-like and be delivered within the context of a clear strategy for attaining sustainability within a reasonable period. The report contains agreed conclusions and recommendations adopted at the meeting which call on Governments and the international community to take concrete measures to improve provision to SMEs of BDS and financial services preferably on demand-driven approach and to encourage various innovative mechanisms and practices in providing these services
